Technogod 8 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 (edited) I am dual booting between Windows 7 and Windows 8. I have a RAID striped volume so I decided to install Intel's latest WIN8 compatible driver. Bad move. Launchpad stopped working and nothing I did would fix it. Finally I had to rely on a bare metal restore of my WIN8 partition. On my first attempt WHS was unable to create the partition and suggested I use Disk Management to create the partition. Thanks to WHS 2011 you can click on Disk Management within Restore. I used Acronis TI 2012 to backup my partition just in case. Then I formatted the partition. Same problem. Hmm! I then deleted the partition, created a new partition and formatted the partition. This time my restore worked perfectly. When my system rebooted it booted into Windows 7 and there was no boot manager. I used Visualbcd to automatically repair the BCD Store. Now my system dual boots correctly. Checked SSD Partition alignment and it was correct. Thank You WHS 2011! Edited November 12, 2012 by Technogod Link to post Share on other sites
