You should install W7 first then W8 – that’s been the case so far with Xp, Vista and Win 7. The rule is – install older versions of Windows first. If you install Win 7 after Win 8, it will overwrite the Win 8 bootloader; you may have to edit the Win 7 bootloader manually to restore Win 8. Or use software such as EasyBCD.
