Solved Dual boot setup by adding image to partition

More the files off F, delete it in Disk Mgmt. Run Acronis True image from C, save a backup image to H.

Then apply the image to former F space using Auto drive letter selection, no Active flag, Primary Partition, no MBR or Track0.

Once image is applied, look for its drive letter in C explorer, install EasyBCD to add the newly imaged OS by drive letter, type and name.

Reboot to see if you get the Dual Boot menu and if the new OS will boot. If not run Startup Repair on it from DVD or Repair CD. Report back any errors that persist.
