1358670 2013-11-04 01:45:00 Running win 8 . 1 with UEFI BIOS .

Trying to debug the win 8 . 1 sleep problem by isolating startups . After trying the diagnostic mode from msconfig I found I had (at least) no nic or sound dvrs running after the selective statup so went back into msconfig and ticked Normal startup .

Rebooted and got the 'oh dear' moment . Error 0000225 and showed OS selection of two Win 7's . Nothing happened with those!

Tried a Win 8 repair disk but that was useless as it asked which Win 7 OS I wanted .

Anyway, I restored my C image and am back running .

But I still would like to know how to get the boot thingies recreated . I did this once with no problem with an older mobo and the win 7 repair disk .

Also like to know how the Normal startup in msconfig screwed up the boot loader .

Cheers .
