Dual Boot No Longer Available? HELP

Ok, I have an SSD. Windows 8 Consumer preview was installed on it. I then partitioned it in half in Consumer Preview. I then installed Windows 7 on the newly partitioned fresh half of the SSD. When I'd boot up I would get the usual BIOS black type screen asking whether I wanted to boot W7 or W8 with a 30 seconds timer. PERFECT.

So today I installed W8 Pro, I formatted the W8 Consumer Preview half of the SSD using the install disk before installing W8 Pro.

So now I have W8 Pro on one half of the partition, W7 remained untouched on the other half. HOWEVER, when I boot now it automatically boots to W8 Pro and gives me no option to choose what OS I want to load !_!

Can anyone help/explain this? I need W7 for work programs to run ASAP.

Thanks in advance!

Install EasyBCD.
Add Boot Entry to the partition of Windows 7.

BTW what work programs that can't run on Windows 8?

Thanks for the tip, will give it a try shortly!

It's a professional audio program called "Pro Tools" Version 10's release for Windows is abysmal so it barely runs on W7 which it's "qualified" for >.<
