Here is the background. Had a Dell Workstation that had Win7 on one SSD drive (Drive 0 Boot). Added another new SSD drive (not the boot drive) and installed Win8 (MVL RTM) under a dual boot. All was fine having the Win8 Boot Mgmr.
The Win7 Drive fails so we install another new SSD in its Drive 0 (boot) location. Staff wanted to try using an custom image to reload Win7 so they unplugged the Win8 drive to ensure it did not overwrite or install their. As you can image we have a single booting Win7 and no Win8. We switched the Win8 drive in the Bios to be the Boot drive and booted into a Win8 reovovery which fixed the Win8 and Win7 bootloader to see both. But it is the older Win7 Boot loader.
Can we get the newer GUI Win8 Bootloader back?
We tried bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy standardt but it did not complete.
Thanks for any help.
