Stuck with Windows 8 on macbook pro

Question

I use Windows 7 and Mac OSX on macbook pro using bootcamp, few hours back I installed the windows 8 as well without using rEFIt or any other tools.

Now the problem is I always see Mac OSX and Windows as boot option.

When I choose windows 7, the laptop boots into win8. I even tried to change the start up disk from "Start up but still the win8 was loaded.

How do I load the Windows 7 back?

Here's the screen shot of startup disks I have. enter image description here

Untitled Windows is Win8, Bootcamp windows is Windows 7

You need to change the Windows 8 boot process to include the older Windows 7. It won't be doable from OS X.
I don't know, because I've not installed Windows 8 anywhere. I'm sure you'll find something if you search for it.

In Windows 8:

Open your desktop,
Open a Explorer window,
Find the Control Panel in the address bar,
System & Security -> Sytem,
Click Advanced System Settings in the sidebar,
(Shortcut: open the startmenu and type Advanced system settings, then click the Settings tile)
In this dialog find the Advanced tab,
Click the Settings button in the Startup and Recovery part,
Here you can change your default os or you can set a timer so you can choose which version of Windows you want to start.

In the future don't install a developer preview if you don't intend to use it.
