I installed Linux Mint 15 on my machine where Windows 8 was pre-installed. After successfully doing so, the grub menu would not show when I would boot the computer. It would boot straight into windows. After hours of researching, I followed the procedure here: http://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-repair-restore-reinstall-grub-2-with-a-ubuntu-live-cd#.UkpRK4Z6Y6Q
and tried to install the grub through my Live CD for Mint 15. It gave me no problems when I followed the instructions but after restarting my computer, the grub still did not show?
I am quite new to this, so excuse me if I am missing something obvious!

have you disabled secure boot in bios? now windows 8 pre-installed comes with secure boot enabled by-default which doesn't allow any unsigned code to execute during boot process. Try disabling secure boot in bios and run boot-repair utility after that.
