How to install Windows 8 boot manager in a different partition?
- by arnab321
the last time i installed Windows 7, the boot manager automatically got installed in a small hidden partition, and the main os into another partition. So, formatting the c: won't affect the boot manager.
yesterday i wiped and repartitioned my hdd like this:
50mb primary ntfs (meant for boot manager)
100gb primary ntfs (for win 8)
50gb primary ntfs (for win 7)
some logical partitions to install ubuntu and other os
i installed win 7 and then win 8, and now there is no os choosing menu. system directly boots win 8 and the 50 mb partition is empty.
There is a way to boot Windows 7 and even Ubuntu directly from the Windows boot manager with EasyBCD. But How do i put the boot manager in the 50mb partition ?
