Yes, I was trying to find a post I made in may describing the situation, but was unable to get before May 06, 2013.
I believe the post was made a couple days before that.
The situation was a member deleted a partition that contained the bootmanager and then was unable to boot his other windows.
I deleted my bootmanager to replicate his issue, and ran the Windows 8 repair option and Win 8 said there were no windows installation on my system..
I then ran the Windows 7 boot repair option from the Win 7 installation dvd, and it found BOTH of my windows of my dual boot.
I clicked repair, and both windows installations were restored, the only change was that I had the classic text version of the boot option during boot instead of the fancy blue gui..
Ive read that VISUAL BCD EDITOR will bring back the Win 8 gui, but im not interested... Havent tried it.
