Corrupted Bootloader on ASUS K55A - HI5014L cant dual boot.
I have ASUS K55A - HI5014L laptop that came with UEFI win8 x64
I primarily use win7 x64, its setup as dual boot via (disabled EUFI and launch csm)
i've corrupted my dual-boot options by pressing multiple f1-f12 keys on start up, i couldnt boot anything (if i recall correctly it said it was missing something)
I was able to get into win7 with
bcdboot C:\Windows /l en-gb /s B: /f ALL from bootable usb
then i tried to reset bcd settings with EasyBCD software, which recreated 4 entires in bootloader, successfully

I'm still loading directly into Windows 7 without a menu poping up for 10 seconds .... as if
"bcdboot c:\Windows /l en-gb /s b: /f ALL" still preceding.
I've been reading to recreate bcd but they all refer to "c:\boot\bcd". I have same file structure only in system partition
A:\Boot\BCD
and there are other several BCD folder locations
A:\EFI\ASUS\BCD
A:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD
C:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD
BCD is new to me and Im struggling with the concept, step by step instructions, would be greatly appreciatedCode:DISKPART> list volume Code: Volume ### Ltr Label Fs Type Size Status Info ---------- --- ----------- ----- ---------- ------- --------- -------- Volume 0 A SYSTEM FAT32 Partition 300 MB Healthy System Volume 1 D Win8 NTFS Partition 93 GB Healthy Pagefile Volume 2 C Win7 NTFS Partition 351 GB Healthy Boot Volume 3 F Restore NTFS Partition 20 GB Healthy Volume 4 Recovery NTFS Partition 900 MB Healthy Hidden
Should I re-enable EUFI ... then do bcdboot D:\Windows /l en-gb /s B: /f ALL from usb to boot into win8 then restore bcdedit with EasyBCD, then if i get start up options disable eufi again?
