[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1517051, member: 46727"] The Windows 7 boot sector is probably gone or overwritten as I mentioned above. You can try a Windows 7 repair with your DVD. I'll provide a link below with instructions on how to repair the boot sector. Again, be very careful what you repair. You don't want to accidentally repair your OS X partition or the Windows 8 one. Also, make a backup before proceeding. Backup OS X using either [URL="http://www.bombich.com/"]Carbon Copy Cloner[/URL] or [URL="http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html"]SuperDuper[/URL]. You can make a backup of the Windows 7 and 8 partitions using [URL="http://twocanoes.com/winclone/"]WinClone[/URL]. How to repair Windows 7: [URL="http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/products/features/startup-repair"]LINK[/URL] If the Window 7 repair doesn't work, you may be able to copy your Windows 7 data using WinClone and restore it after reinstalling.
