[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1517209, member: 46727"] Unfortunately, no. I think you're in a situation now where a total backup of everything and re-installation is needed. Not really your fault by the way. Windows 7 and Windows 8 do not play nice with each other. I have had similar problems with Windows 2000 and XP on the same machine. Unless you're using Windows 7 or 8 to play games and or for a specific application that has to be run natively, you might want to think about running them in a virtual machine verses using Boot Camp. VMWare Fusion, Parallels, or even the free VirtualBox can run them from OS X in a separate virtual machine without having to reboot or using rEFIt. Something to think about. [/QUOTE]
