How to Restore Dual Boot Option for Win 7 and Win 8

[TivoOwner]

I had Windows 7 and Windows 8 in dual boot mode on one drive in two partitions. My motherboard crashed and ended up getting a new motherboard with a new chipset. I couldn't get it to Windows 7 to load on the new motherboard so I reinstalled Win 7 on the primary partition. But now I don't see the option to dual boot. Short of reinstalling Win 8 as well on the secondary partition, not sure how to resolve this. Thanks.

Assuming your Windows partitions are still intact, you just need to add entries for them to your bootloader. EasyBCD is the de-facto tool for doing this.
