[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1465144, member: 46727"] Since Windows 8 is not officially supported by Apple (Boot Camp Assistant) you're on your own with this one. You likely overwrote the Windows 7 MBR with the two attempts to install Windows 8. Upgrading Windows 7 to Windows 8 is supported on a PC that's running Windows 7, but you're running it on a Mac which uses EFI not a BIOS. So there's no way to tell if the MBR is good or not, but I suspect you overwrote it and will likely have to reinstall. [/QUOTE]
