Here's the deal: I threw away my old computer, but kept the Windows 7 SATA drive. I bought a new computer with Windows 8, and plugged my Windows 7 drive into the next SATA slot hoping to be able to setup a dual boot mode. Of course, nothing is ever that easy.
I can access the Win 7 drive through the file explorer as if it was an external HD, but it is not bootable. The disk manager lists the Win 7 drive as an "active, primary partition".
What do I need to do to be able to make my Windows 7 disk bootable? I can only assume it has something to do with the UEFI, but I'm not sure.
Thanks.
