My laptop has been running Vista since I got it, but I had a 20GB partition where I had the Win Dev Preview installed. Back when I did that everything was great it installed a bootloader which let me choose between Win8 and Vista. So along came with Consumer Preview which installed form a small download instead of a DVD. I wanted to install it so I first booted into the Dev Preview then ran the small installer, figuring it would keep everything on that partition and it did. Problem is it renamed that partition to C: and there's no bootloader anymore, so the laptop just boots straight into Win8. I could really use this laptop to help with work, can anyone suggest a way to fix the situation?
