Boot manager installed double windows 7, How to remove any one?

[Raveroy]

I was running Windows 7 operating system on my machine and I cam across one problem on this machine. So I just used up my Windows 7 disc to boot up again which installed the windows 7 again on my machine. Actually the previous one was corrupted one. But now there are two Windows 7 installed on my machine out of which only one is working and another one is not working. Can somebody tell me how can I remove the corrupted one?

Best way to deal with such problem is to simply remove an entry in the boot configuration of your windows 7. For running the msconfig you need to click on Start button and then go to the Search bar and type msconfig there you have got it. Once you have started with the msconfig then go to startup tab and then choose to boot entry to be deleted. Now click on the delete button after choosing the corrupted one and then click on OK. Make sure you are connected to the partition you want to keep Windows 7 for these steps to remove not good installation error.

For deleting the extra partition of the windows 7 which is not working, You have to edit the boot.ini file. Here I have provided the way by which you can open the boot.ini file. Go to the Start button and then click on the run and type C:\boot.ini in Search Box. Before further urge proceedany backup of boot.ini originial you can do this by making a copy of the boot. One file gets opened then you will see the boot loader then you need to manually remove entyr/s and then save the file. A typical single boot.ini reference will look similar to this

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect

If you want to delete the option for some other drive:

for d:\

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional"

for e:\

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(3)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional"

for f:\

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(4)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional"

The boot loader of Windows 7 (and Vista) does not use Boot.ini, except for pre-releases of Windows Vista. It uses something called a data warehouse that is similar to the register. BCDEDIT you can use to display or modify it. You can run from a command prompt with administrator privileges (go to accessories then click Command Prompt and right on it, select Run as administrator and click Yes when asked if you really want to do this.) Bcdedit / enum show something with a minimum of three sections: a Windows startup manager and a section of the windows boot loader for each copy of Windows 7 (or Vista) on your PC. Each of the sections of the boot loader had a handle on top. Bcdedit / delete ID (where ID is the ID of the bad copy) is deleted from the warehouse of data. If the defect in the bootloader section is the one you want to keep, then finished. If the defect was the bad version of Windows 7, then type BCDEDIT defect identification, where ID is the identifier of the good copy. You must download the reference manual BCDEdit to make sure I have not misspelled any commmands therein.
