I have windows 8 and windows 7 installed on the same hard drive (AHCI)

On my windows 8, i updated to this: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Det...0&lang=eng&wapkw=intel+rst+driver+11.2.0.1006 because i thought it will make hot swapping work properly. After installing it, my computer won't detect my external HDD. so i uninstalled it because there's no option to roll back drivers and it didn't create a restore point.

I uninstalled it and my computers goes on a boot loop (has the windows 8 BSOD, way too fast to see the error). After a while, my computer will say that it will attempt a automatic repair, but never actually works.

B4 i can't even log on to my windows 7 partition, but now i can.

Anybody know how to fix this?

sorry if this is the in wrong section.


EDIT: I fixed it. Apparently i can still boot into safe mode for windows 8, uninstalling the intel matrix storage driver dind't uninstall the actual software from the control panel. After i uninstalled it from the control panel, everythings works normal now.
