Hello,

I need help, my pc had windows 8 and 7 in dualboot, after (again) a failed attempt to install osx on the shitty bastard... Windows 7 wont boot, and i formatted the drive with windows 8 installed on it so i think the bootloader got deleted, and i cant just re install, my usb dvd drive (ide is used for 80gig hdd with windows 2000) wont be powered for a long enough time...

What should i do, using my mac until i have the money for an new rig, or say fuck it and install 8 again

Read the "Repairing the Master Boot Record" section. :) This requires a Windows 7 Installation CD.

I have multiple win 7 dvd's (3 legal 4 illegal) but my external dvd drive wont work for a long enough time, it gets stuck at loading files for first time (if im not wrong, installed it a long time ago)

If you got a seperate PC, make a boot usb stick with windows 7 installer on it.
