I did as you told, Fiona and marked Miscellaneous as deleted and RootWin7 as logical. I can see the Windows 7 partition now but I still can't boot into Windows 7.

I ran EasyBCD after booting into Windows 8 and I saw this:

Code: Select all

There are a total of 4 entries listed in the bootloader.

Default: Windows 7
Timeout: 30 seconds
Boot Drive: G:\

Entry #1
Name: Earlier Version of Windows
BCD ID: {ntldr}
Drive: G:\
Bootloader Path: \ntldr

Entry #2
Name: Windows 8
BCD ID: {current}
Drive: C:\
Bootloader Path: \Windows\system32\winload.exe

Entry #3
Name: Windows 7
BCD ID: {default}
Drive: D:\
Bootloader Path: \Windows\system32\winload.exe

Entry #4
Name: Ubuntu
BCD ID: {04e5904e-05ff-11e2-a3bd-9cf748453e70}
Drive: H:\
Bootloader Path: \ubuntu\winboot\wubildr.mbr
and here's the detailed view:

I ran Startup Repair but that didn't help either. Could you tell me how to proceed from here?
