I upgraded to W8 from XP and got a dual boot system with W7 and W8 as a result.
After a while I needed to restore an image I made from W8 using Acronis and it turned out to be impossible. Whatever I do, Acronis will always rename drive C to F and that will be unbootable then (winload .exe misssing or corrupt). The old F is now C and
has an older bootable version of W7 restored onto it, not the W8 i choose.
I tried everything imaginable.
Taking the C drive out, Downloaded a new default bios, Downloaded the latest Acronis software. The result is always the same.
Now, my only other thought is that W8 wants to see XP present on the disk because that is where I upgraded it from.
I would appreciate any help.
