    Problem in boot menu


    I had windows 7 and windows 8. The windows 7 had a problem so i deleted windows 7 and install a new fresh copy of that. After installing windows 7 it won't show the boot menu so that I can choose windows 8. It automatically goes to windows 7 however I still have windows 8 in my hard drive. How can I get back the boot menu?
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks

    So you have win7 bootmenu now? It's because you installed win7 after win8.
    Please post screenshot of msconfig->boot tab
    and post screenshot of disk management and tell me what win8 is

    In Elevated Command Prompt
    Code:
    bcdboot   E:\windows
    works? What do you want as default OS.... win7 or win8?
    Do you have an win8 install disk or repair disk?

    If you want the win8 bootmanager back:

    -Boot from win8 repair disc > Chose Keyboard type > click Troubleshoot > click Advanced options
    or
    -Boot from win8 Install disc > Click Next > click Repair your computer > click Troubleshoot > click Advanced options >

    Then: choose Automatic Repair. This will recreate the win8 bootmanager. It was on the win7 partition (the active partition) and you deleted that partition (or reformatted it).
