i had a dual boot win7/win8 system. I had some trouble with win7 and did a image restore on it and to boot into it did a recovery which set the boot to go straight to the win7. Now in Win7, I can see my Win8 partition and it seems fine.=. But even after running EasyBCD, adding the 2 partitions and different combinations of Write MBR, Install BCD, Reset BCD, etc. I get File: \Windows\system32\winload.exe Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file blackscreen with the only option to go back to the boot menu. Win7 Boots fine.
I found an old backup BCD and the notable differences include the identifier has a different numbers. But perhaps more important the numbers were the same between win7 and win8. I dont know why the win8 menu option didn't take me to win7. Anyway i recreated it all several times and still have the issue. I'm attaching my EasyBCD, the one on the left is current and the one on the right is the old backup. I've tried removing the driver letter, no change.
I'm looking for the easiest way to get my win8 back. I only occasionally used it so it's not worth a huge effort.
Thanks!
