Hi guys

I just installed Elementary OS from a USB onto my pre-installed win8 as a dual OS set up.


The problem is now, I can not get into win8 anymore: it says my BCD is corrupt, what to do?

Desperately need help :(

I can't boot from the disk, the boot loader that Elementary installed, is stopping it.

You cannot fix BCD nor most Windows issues from Linux. You need a Windows repair disk.

Grub really only boots a working Windows.
