[Fixed] Mouse and Keyboard not working on Windows 7 after installing 8.1

Installed 8.1 on another partition and the mouse and keyboard work when on the OS selection screen. When 7 boots up the lights on the keyboard and the mouse sensor turn off. From what I've been able to gather from googling, is that 7 and 8.1 don't play nice when installed on the same drive and the 8.1 install makes the basic USB drivers go wonky.

Booting into my 7 USB installation drive and safe mode don't work either. Has anyone ever come across this issue. If so, what did you do to fix it?

Update: Tried this fix and after copying the files. The mouse and keyboard lights did come on, but no movement whatsoever. I ended up just deleting my Windows 7 partition and reinstalling. Seems to play nice with Win8 being installed first. Only downside is no more sexy OS selection menu
