Dual boot delima
So here's the problem........
I just rebuilt my system with an Asus Sabertooth Z97 with a new SSD Samsung EVO 120 GB.
Installed Windows 7 and all is well.
Not to waste my WD 2 TB hard drive I also installed another copy of windows 7 on one partition and windows 8.1 on the second partition. By way of a manual hard drive switch and Easy BSD I can switch between either hard drive. And on the 2 TB hard drive and Easy BSD I can choose which OS to boot.
Now when I go back to the SSD it says I need to insert Windows & to repair the installation. It works and now go back to the other drive and I get the same message.....windows 8.1 makes the repairs.
This worked OK on my old system.
With the hard drive switch ,one drive is dead while the other is on. How can the boot manager see the other drive?
Any ideas. I also have a 3rd hard drive with data on it that is common to both.
I'm a little stumped.
