Both Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 load up Windows 8.1 in boot menu

So today I installed Windows 8.1 on a partition of my ssd, i shrunk my current windows 7 partition to 130gb and the windows 8.1 partition is 100gb, I installed windows 8.1 on the new partition.

Installed fine, when it first loaded it didn't give me an option between windows 7 and windows 8.1 it kept booting straight into 8.1 after multiple restarts.

So then I installed EasyBCD, it showed windows 8.1 in the boot menu and then I went to add q new entry and saw windows 7 was available on the c drive to add, so then I added.

Now when the boot menu shows, both options still bring up windows 8.1.

When I was in windows 8.1, it was showing just one drive, 100gb c drive, but should it not in fact show that as the e drive with 100gb and then the c drive with 130gb, that is what they were set to in windows 7 BEFORE i installed Windows 8.1.

Should it not be saying the E drive?

Also in the view settings it's showing both 8.1 and 7 having drive : C:\

I know for a fact that I installed windows 8.1 on the e drive partition 100gb and windows 7 was on the c drive which was 130gb.

I gave the original partition had no drive letter, I couldn't give it c or e, i gave it f, but it shows it as empty, and when I point the boot menu to that it just gives an error.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
