Hi...

If you still have Windows 8 installed along with Ubuntu, please see the tutorial here and see if that helps. If you only have Ubuntu installed and you want to reinstall Windows 8, give ASUS a call and see if they can sell you a restore CD of Windows 8 for your computer, if needed (or if they can help you reinstall it, if by some chance your restore partition is still intact and if you still have a warranty on the system.) If they can't sell you one, then you will need to purchase a full retail copy, from ebay as an example, and install it that way.

Or you can forgo all of this and take your laptop to a reputable computer repair shop or technician where you live.

Regards...
