See if EasyBCD can help you, get it from here:
neosmart.net/EasyBCD/

I think your Windows 7 boot entry might have been tempered while installing Windows 8. Install EasyBCD in Windows 8, run the program. Delete the Windows 7 boot entry and create a new entry for the Windows 7 partition.

Let us know if it solved your problem. :)

Put the Windows 8 install disk in and boot up. Use the Start up repair. This will give you Windows 8, in the dual boot menu, as the default. Don't change it to Windows 7 or you will get the same error.

Hi,
have you installed and used in windows 7 (before the problem) some softwares to change the boot image like "Win7BootUpdater"?
I've found problem with this program, because it modify the winload.exe on windows 7 directory, so the new winload.exe installed from windows 8 doesn't not exist anymore; and at the boot of windows 7 i've got a winload.exe error. So from windows 8 i've replaced the backup file of winload.exe and after i could work again on my windows 7 o.s.
