I have an msi g45- z77 and I was working on fixing my overclock. I messed with some settings I probably shouldn't have (windows 8 mode) and managed to leave it on even while having a windows 7 install. Little did I know, upon restarting all of my drives were relabeled as different letters and my actual boot drive was now drive d:\ so I have a system image made, I flashed my bios using the m-flash feature, and every time I go to restore using my backup, I get the error that my firmware is efi and the system image is made for bios only. So I need some major help as far as some tips and tricks on how to save my beautiful setup.

Help is majorly appreciated!

I managed to find a few settings that needed to be undone. Somehow my default settings led to memory fast boot being on. Turning it off allowed me to recover my system from my system image. My god was that a pain in the ass. Anyone with an msi motherboard: don't mess around unless you know what you are doing. :)
