I am dual-booting Windows 7 Pro with the Windows 8 preview. I had Windows 7 installed first.
I have no trouble booting into Win7 if I my previous boot was into Win7.
I have no trouble booting into Win8 if I my previous boot was into Win7.
But if I try booting into Win7 when my previous boot was into Win8, I just get a black screen with a cursor, and eventually I have to give up and switch off.
The difference is that if Win7 was my previous boot, I get the Win7 OS-selector (black screen, white writing, no mouse control).
If Win8 was my previous boot, I get the Win8 OS-selector (colours, mouse control).
So I assume there's something wrong with the Win OS-selector. After using it to select Win7, it just gives me a black screen with a cursor.
Any ideas how to fix this?
