    Hello. I have a notebook with 1 hard drive and Windows 7 Installed. Last night, my dad's laptop died, and i took his Hard Drive and plugged into my laptop's secondary Hard Drive Bay, he has Windows 8 Pro installed. Problem is, that my laptop keeps booting into windows 7 and i dont know how to make Wind 8 appear in the boot menu. I dont want to clean-install any OS.
    Does anyone know how?

    EDIT: * Already fixed it by switching hard drive priority in the BIOS and letting windows 8 do its magic *

    ;)

    Sometimes the HAL creates problems when booting another OS, so it's good to see you got it running.
