[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1542539, member: 46727"] You were supposed to remove the Windows 8 recovery drive from the Windows 8 boot drive before you removed Windows 8. You remember when you inquired about this before and I asked you in my reply if you had created another partition within Windows? That's what happened. I'm not sure how you can get rid of the Windows 8 recovery drive. Re-installing Windows 7 is not going to do it, however, try this: From within Windows 7, open Disk Manager. You should be able to "see" the Windows 8 recovery drive. If you can "see" it from Disk Manager, try removing it from there. Let us know if that works. [/QUOTE]
