Hi, I have three operating systems on my pc. I only recently installed a windows 7 64 bit on a ssd but after doing so, I had to do a system image recovery to my windows 8 installation from a date prior to the new windows 7 install. This Windows 7 is not on the list of operating system options in system startup so how do I add it?
Thanks
Robby

Hi,

Post the full screenshot of diskmgmt.msc and the result of bcdedit /enum all
Explain where your Windows 7 is.

I lost a space in the command. Please run
Code:
bcdedit /enum all >>%userprofile%\desktop\bcdedit.txt
and attach the text file from your desktop

Boot into the recovery environment
Code:
shutdown /r /o /t 0
In the command prompt, enter
Code:
bootrec /rebuildbcd
This switch looks for Windows installations on local drives (similar to /scanos) and offers to add the absent ones to BCD. So if you have Windows on T, it will add it (drive letters are different in RE, though).
