Windows 8 win8 will not boot

[nichos]

Hi,
After clean dust & rebuild my PC had a bit of trouble with the PSU which I sorted out.

I booted win8 ok but on next boot for 5-10mnts was "analyzing the PC" then another 5-10m said "will auto repair PC" then after 10-15m said " cannot repair, go advanced" another 10-15 m said "no good shut it down & choose another OS"

In disbeleaf I tried this a few times more.

I am in XP now & works OK.

Win8 worked OK for months & liked it

Eny help, before I "EsyBCD" it, will be apreciated. ....thanx .....nick

It's really hard to suggest something about your situation because you are in dual boot. If it's just Win 8 in your system, you could just go ahead and hit repair without worrying about the other OS installed in your hard drive. I guess this just proved my point that doing a dual boot on a single hard drive with the main OS can really be a big headache. I wish you luck and I hope someone who commented here before who had years of experience with dual boot on a single hard drive will come back and help you out because I don't dual boot on a single drive.

Cheers!

I have done this before in a dual-boot scenario. I lost the ability to boot into Windows 7, but I regained it after I manually added it to the boot path using msconfig, double checking all boot paths before rebooting
