    Decided to bite the bullet last night and install Windows 8 to see what it's like. Got a separate HDD ready to dual boot with win 7. The install seemed to go fine until it rebooted at the end. All I get is a black screen and no boot option. Is there any way I can get back into my Windows 7 install. I've tried changing the HDD boot priority in the bios but all I still get is a black screen. Can anyone shed some light on this.

    Disconnect the Win8 hard drive, and boot from your Win7 DVD and use Startup Repair to sort out your Win7 bootloader.
