Dual boot Win7 & Win 8.1
Dual boot Win7 & Win 8.1
I have installed Win 7 & Win 8.1. Dual booting is fine with the Windows Boot Manager, which was set up during Win 8.1 installation on the Win 7 partition. I have reactivated BIBM but can only get Win 8.1 to boot via the Windows Boot Manager. I have tried disabling the Windows Boot Manager (zero timeout) but this just causes the default entry (Win 7) to boot from the Win 8 entry. I could move the Windows Boot Manager to the Win 8.1 partition but presumably then Win 7 will show the same problem. How do I enable booting from BIBM to either OS without seeing the Windows Boot Manager?

Re: Dual boot Win7 & Win 8.1
My day job kept me from following the suggestion of Brian K in a more timely fashion. However, after printing the two relevant knowledge base articles and completing the 36 steps therein I am pleased to report that Win 7 and Win 8.1 are now dual booting independently.
PS. In addition to the link noted by Brian K, the solution also calls for a visit to:

P.PS. Greetings fly out to DrT, who may wish to reflect on the fact that much stress is self imposed.
