Hi everyone!
Ok, I was hoping to dual boot with Windows 7 and Windows 8.
Here is what I have tried so far, but without success:
1. I installed Windows 7 on an Intel 520 180GB Cherryville. Everything works wonderfully!
2. Unplugged the Windows 7 SSD, and installed another new Intel 520 180GB Cherryville.
3. Installed Windows 8 on the new SSD, did all the updates, everything worked fine!
4. Plugged in the SSD with the Windows 7, but now only Windows 7 will load.
5. When I switch BIOS to load the SSD with the Windows 8, I only see a black screen with a blinking dash...nothing else....
I read somewhere it was possible to dual boot either of the OS's with each on a separate SSD. But I cannot seem to get this to work.
I did notice in Administration tools, Computer Management, Storage, Disk Management this interesting fact:
Windows 7 SSD says this: SYSTEM, BOOT, PAGE FILE, ETC.
Windows 8 SSD says this: HEALTHY, PRIMARY PARTITION
I am wondering if the problem is there.
Any ideas please? Anyone know what I did wrong or what I can do to make it work?
Thank you,
Soar
