Hello Arashikage, welcome to Eight Forums! It's not looking good for that to be possible, the main work-around of the double install trick is moot now as the very first thing that must be done when the install starts is having to add an activation key for the install to continue.

Here you go Frank, have a look through this tutorial linked below. Imaging with free Macrium

I'll let you in on a secret; you are totally incorrect in this statement.

Yes I'm in love with my captor!

I can't believe I'm actually agreeing with Jimbo about something :shock: but it is kinda' growing on me too, as is, even without the Windows 7 Windows Explorer added back in, oh well, I guess there's no accounting for taste eh.

Hello akishore, welcome to Eight Forums! To most people you have the desired boot set-up, a BIOS managed dual-boot but if you want a Windows managed dual-boot the easiest way to achieve that is to use the Windows 7 installation DVD to do 3 separate startup repairs, have a look at the...
