I have Ubuntu in dual boot alongside the original W8 install.
My grub shows a ton of options. The first one loads Ubuntu alright. In the past I tried loading w8 (which I hardly ever use) and after loading W8 and restating the machine it somehow managed to get grub disabled. Which option loads W8, and is there a way to clean up grub to show only relevant options?

To create submenus (folders) to group several similar menu points to one entry, select all items you want to group and chose Create submenu from the right-click context menu or the Edit menu.
Changes will not be applied until you click the Save button, or close the window and chose Save & Exit from the appearing dialogue.
