HELP!?! can't dual boot windows 8 and windows 7 on EFI GPT
Here is my dilemma, I have 3 hard drives a 500gig drive and 2 3TB drives. in order to get full disk space....I had to change my drives to GPT in a UEFI environment.. I installed windows 8 on one of the 3 tb drives and then installed windows 7 on the 500 gig drive. I have successfully booted into both windows but not by bootloader, the only way I can get into either is by switching the drive order in the efi. if I have the windows 8 drive on top then I cannot access windows 7 through bootloader.....I get a signature error and if I swap I get the same error for the other windows. I am guessing that since the boot info is on each partition...I am royally screwed and will have to enter each windows by changing the boot sequence. please tell me there is a solution to this, please ;\
