How to restore Windows 7 bootloader after installing Win 8 Dev?
During the installation of Windows 8 Dev, it, of course, erased the loader from 7.
The layout is like this:
chainloader (hd0,1)+1
chainloader (hd0,1)/bootmgr

recently booted Windows from a flash drive, partition, etc. NTFS has a feature - load bootmgr if it exists.
Judging by the picture, this is a piece of the bootloader from Win8. Give a listing of the three sections.
In general, I advise you to erase all bootmgr and other hidden files at the root that are definitely not needed (of course, wisely) and install the win7 bootloader from the disk. It's just that the win7 bootloader remained, but pieces of win8 clog it.
oh yes, under Windows itself, try www.oszone.net/11294/ execute directly when Windows is running. In fact, it should put a working bootloader, scoring everything that interferes.
For some reason I didn't get it. And there is an option to put a hornbeam. It will probably pick up all bootloaders.
You can also try EasyBCD - it can fix bcd - you can add a boot point yourself.
I agree, it was necessary to do this (I paint in detail):
dir c:\
dir d:\
dir e:\
rd e:\$WINDOWS.~BT /s
rd e:\Boot /s
del e:\bootmgr /s
bcdboot e:\windows /s e:
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
Try to get an installation disk (or a flash drive - depending on what you installed it from), and select System Restore there, and then according to the circumstances (described, for example, here and here ).
To return the Win7 loader, it is important to find exactly its installation disk.
I myself put 8 a certain time ago, then I decided to delete it. I thought that she had an identical bootloader with win8, and used the one from 8-rki - unsuccessfully. Then I realized that they are different, took a disk with win7 - and everything was restored.
