Windows 8 And Mountain Lion Not Playing Well

[ElKanyeEast]

I've tried to resolve this problem myself for several hours, but no success has brought me here. A few weeks ago I installed a fresh copy of Mountain Lion on a 1TB drive, with Windows 7 running on a 500GB drive. No I've wiped that Windows 7 drive and installed a copy of Windows 8. My problem is that now, I can't boot into ML without either using my USB, or manually selecting a specific drive to boot off. The 1TB shows up in my BIOS as both UEFI: ST1000..., and P1: ST1000... I know that P1 can boot into ML just fine, but that isn't an option when configuring my boot order, only UEFI. Is there any way to solve this problem?

Thanks

I think your situation is very similar to a situation that just came up a bit ago. The solution is to put stage0 Chimera boot loader (boot0md) on your drive with Windows and tell BIOS to boot there first.

Ooooo I tried to use Chameleon Wizard to fix it, and that's what it was gonna do (but couldn't download it apparently). Thanks for the tip, but I solved it with the weirdest solution. I switched the sata cables, so that my 1TB was first and my 500GB was second, and that fixed it. Thank you for your help
