Windows 7 wont boot after windows 8

[Rapol]

So I dual boot windows 8 making a partition in my second hard drive. My Pc is 64 bit but for some reason windows 8 keep bsod me in installation. The 32 bit work. Then i shut down my computer and boot windows 7. It got stuck in a black screen for more than 5 mins so i shut it down. Try it again and system recovery option appear. Tried a system recovery but no luck. Windows 8 works and Im using it right now. I can see all my data in my c drive (windows7). Any suggestions??

 

[Kaktussoft]

How do you boot to win7? Just using a bootmenu and select win7, or by using bios and select the win7 disk as first boot device?

 

[Kaktussoft]

boot into recovery options and select "command prompt"

bcdedit /enum all > c:\bcdedit.txt

please post c:\bcdedit.txt
you can delete that file afterwards if you wish.
Also post a full blown screenshot of "disk management" with all fields visible. Can also be done in win8 I hope.

 

[Rapol]

From the bootmenu that windows 8 installed. I will try that as soon as i get home.

Your system's bootmgr is located on D (what's called D in win8)
bootmenu is on D as well.
windows 7 is on D (what's called D in win8)

So far so good, I don't see any problems. bootmgr is working and bcd menu is good.
============
What happens exactly when starting win7 in safe mode? Tell me exactly what you see

 

[Rapol]

I really dont know how to get in safe mode in the new windows 8 bootmenu. So i tried another way. Run>msconfig>boot. And check safe mode for the windows 7 os, but this didn't work. I dont know if this is important but my laptop came with vista, I upgraded to 7 went it came out.

PS. Changed the default os to windows 7 in System properties. Going to restart now.

PS2. Doing the above boot me in the normal (black screen) bootmenu of windows 7. I selected windows 7 hit f8 and automatically started the system recovery option.

 

[latouffe]

I have the exact same problem!
I installed windows 8 on a free partition ( d) there where some games on it. i used a little bit windows 8 but i could not connect to the internet (windows 8 is not seeing my wifi usb dlink antenna) so i wanted to go back to windows 7. Before restartign i saw something strange my windows 8 changed the partition letter D to C :/ First of all , the choose boot was in the bios and not in the windows 8 style. And every time i choose windows 7 its entering into SYSTEM RECOVERY OPTIONS!

I tried to restore my system or a startup repair. but nothing is working! Its always booting into system recovery options!

a little help plz!

 

[Kaktussoft]

Drive letters are just ... drive letters In win8 his OS drive letter is C. In win7 the other drive letter is C... quite normal. Did you use BIOS as bootmenu? So were win7 and win8 on different physical harddrives and you selected in bios the drive to start from?

 

[Kaktussoft]

What did you do to remove win8, or is it still there?
