I installed Windows 8 in one HDD then installed mavericks in another, when I installed mavericks i have the windows 8 drive unplugged form the motherboard now that I plugged it back (and my gtx 760 and a 4 gb stick of ram) I cant get to the bootloader, when the pc turns on it get my this: "\" with a "_" underneath flashing I can only change the boot order and boot into windows 8
Can anyone help me?

Check BIOS settings - boot device order, HDD boot order

Well i checked them and I think they are correct
I dont know what it can be wrong but here are my bios settings:
bios 3.jpgbios 4.jpgbios 5.jpg99782d1406250423-guide-dual-booting-mountain-lion-windows-8-bios-1.jpg99783d1406250431-guide-dual-booting-mountain-lion-windows-8-bios-2.jpg

also Im using chimera as bootloader I don't know if that is causing the problem , I have mavericks and windows 8

Thanks again

disable secure boot
 
I diabled it still doesnt work,
What else can I do?
double check device boot order and HDD boot order - I did not see these settings in your BIOS pics


open terminal, type diskutil list [ENTER]

post pic of results (you do know how to take screenshot of just terminal window, yes?)

In the boot order WDC is the mavericks drive, they are in that ports because I had them in port 0 (Mavericks) and 1 (Windows) in the motherboard, so I change the ports to see if it works but it doesn't.
Anything I can do?

Thanks.
 
connect all drives and do diskutil list again - post pic.

under CSM - set for Legacy and UEFI
