Alright this is going to be a long story.
I wanted to try Windows 8 so I installed it on a separate SSD I had from my Windows 7 HDD thinking it would keep separate. I didn't like it so I tried replacing it with Lion OSX. I didn't realize that special precautions had to be taken and that I couldn't just install an OS over Windows 8.
Now I can't get into my Windows 7 HDD and even when I use my Windows 7 dvd in IDE, it goes to the same message:
Windows Recovery Environment Your PC needs to be repaired A required device isnt connected or cant be accessed. Error code: 0xc000000e
However it does load when I choose AHCI and not IDE. I don't know if it has to do with when I installed Lion over Windows 8, I had to switch IDE to AHCI. So by using AHCI, I was able to install Windows 8 again but it did not solve any of my problems and it doesn't give me the option to boot into Windows 7 like the first time it was installed.
I know I'm such an idiot but any help is greatly appreciated.
