I installed 8.2 from the DVD ISO. This install overwrote the MBR even though I 
selected not to write a boot record. Using the repair disk and/or bootrec does 
not work.

The answer is found in

Basically you use diskpart to make sure that only the windows partition is 
marked active and then run the Startup Repair process 3 times. This is the only 
option that worked for me.
