How did you go about deleting your partition with windows 8 on it?

I used easybcd to remove windows 8 boot screen at startup. Then i used easyus partition master to delete the windows 8 partition.

 

[tenaciousk]

did you make easyus partition boot cd? or did you run it from windows.

 

[Rosco 04]

I ran it from windows

Do you have a windows 7 disk?, do you have another computer you can get on to download from?

I think you deleted the windows 7 boot manager...

win8 replaces the old loader you can't just delete it, you need to repair the boot loader, bootdisk.com, winxp cd, win7 install cd is easiest it will auto repair start up issues.
