dual boot infinite loops with win 8 and win 7

I have installed both windows 8 (primary) and windows 7 on my computer for dual boot. Yesterday windows 8 had to shut down for some updates and I just pushed it back until I went to bed. When I woke up this morning windows 7 was upso I just reset my computer, when it restarted it would go to my asus screen then try to boot, and then go back to my asus scree. I tried messing with my boot settings but no luck, can anyone help out? I took a short Video to go a long with it.https://safelinking.net/p/02fa005389
Answer #1
Maybe you screwed the bootloader. Put the Windows installation disc and usebootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
bootrec /rebuildbcd
Those commands repair your bootloader and the last scan for Windows’s installations and reinsert them in the bootloader that it rebuilds.
Answer #2
At which point can I type commands in using the installation disk?
I can get to the cmd now and I got the first two commands done but when I do the last it asks if I want to add the installation in and ive tried “yes” and “Y” and neither of the commands are working

Ok, so we need to force a new bcd:
bcdboot winpartition:\Windows /l en-us /s bootpartition: /f ALL
You can navigate with dir and cd /d. The one lists files and the second changes directory. Remember that you can activate the prompt with the installation disc using shift+f10. You should use dir C: and dir E: then the other ones until you find the partition where there is the Windows’ folder. For the boot partition you need to find a partition that can host it. When you install Windows the installer reserves one or more partition to install the bootloader and other things, you should find that partition in the same way, that partition should be almost empty. If you have trouble finding it you can use diskpart check the help for how to use it. It works by first selecting a disk and then you should list the partition layout to find the boot partition and assign it the letter that you prefer. The letters you assign with diskpart are not permanent and they only works until you quit the installation. The /l(ocale) part should followed by the localization en-us is for english of the USA for example, ja-jp japan etc. etc.
Answer #5
Would it being loaded on drive X have anything to do with it? Im not sure I even have an X drive
Edit: I do have a DIR named recovery, I also did a volume list and came up with something interesting. I have a 3tb backup for all my main items yet it only shows 75 free gigs? I may have used 500 gigs so far. Here is a photo of the volumes and diskshttps://safelinking.net/p/c6f6af0b19
Answer #6
The volume of the installation disc are valid only until the disc is inserted. I sometimes have found the Windows volumes listed in X:\ . You shouldn’t worry about the letters of the installation media. There is something wrong, if you are sure that you haven’t used that space then your partition table is corrupt. To fix it you need to use gdisk with linux and you can, a lot of times, recover it.
Answer #7
Instead of I guess trying to fix the problem could I delete the windows 7 partition and that may help? I tried running a program on windows 7 but it didnt help so it is actually useless to me.
Edit, I finally found the dosk drive and tried to copy the boot files over and I got this as a response “failure when attempting to copy boot files”.https://safelinking.net/p/1c9840e503
Answer #8
With a dual boot only one of the OS’s takes control of boot management and usually it’s the newer of the operating system so work on the Windows 8 partition to fix it.
If you left your computer to download updates it will reboot usually when everything is completed and if Windows 7 was on your screen when you woke up either Windows 7 was the default OS for bootup or somehow Windows updates messed it up.
If you have Hirens Boot CD boot into that then use a partition manager on it to make your Windows 8 partition active and all other partitions inactive(be sure to apply the changes in the partition manager).
When you reboot your computer it should just boot from the active partition. If it doesn’t put your Windows 8 DVD in the drive and boot from that to repair it.
If you can get into DOS try running chkdsk (drive letter:) /f (example: chkdsk c: /f )
I ran a dual boot on Windows 7/8 for quite a while when Windows 8 came out just to test Windows 8 out and it ran perfectly. The only difference with my setup was that I had Windows 7 installed first, then when I installed Windows 8 it took over boot management.
