Hi i have 8.1 installed, using UEFI, GPT as specified above. I have also installed Ubuntu alongside 8 without any problems. Will i be able to install Mavericks without having to remove any OS?
Help appreciated thanks

You will probably need to reinstall... unless you plan on using Clover. Chimera/Chameleon cannnot boot a UEFI install of Windows. See dual boot guide: http://www.tonymacx86.com/multi-booting/96000-guide-dual-booting-mountain-lion-windows-8-a.html
