I have 2 Hdd. In one i have installed windows 8 and in other win 7.when i boot in win 7 i can access the other drive content but when i boot in win 8 , i can't access the win 7 Hdd. And also can't boot straight from win 8 drive making it primary in BIOS, when i do that i get this message Bootmgr error. How can i fix this problem and get booted straight from win 8 Hdd and access other drive when i log in too.

Go to Disk manger and see if its there. if there then just assign Drive letter and it should work, if not then report back.
Also post a screenshot of Diskmanager here.
