Because I had to reinstall Windows 7, I reinstalled it in the same HDD but reformatted etc.
Now when I boot up I get to the Os selector screen, and there are 2 windows 7 options and then windows XP.
Is there a boot ini I can alter? and if so how?
Or else use EasyBCD

The boot.ini was removed from Vista onwards.
Installed but it doesn't work? Its definetly a process but it ain't doing anything.. Should I try in Xp?
Should I try non compatibility mode?
If you use easybcd in XP, you need to have at least netframework 2.0 installed and you have to copy Sevens C:\Windows\Boot folder to XP's C:\Windows
Try a few different modes, because it should work. I don't think it needs a compatability mode from memrory.
I just had a strange occurrence. I just rebooted after a routine CHKDSK, my first since installing Windows 7 x64 Ultimate three months ago. After my desktop was loaded and all my startup programs had finished their startup - a little notification box appeared with the word "boot.ini repaired".
After reading these posts I am aware that Win 7 doesn't have a boot.ini file. About a month ago I had a problem with my bootmgr file being missing and I recovered from that intact. I attribute that to a failed install of "Comodo Time Machine" ShadowMyth's Multiverse

Some good imaging freeware are Paragon Backup & Recovery, DriveImage XML, and Easeus Todo Backup. ] If you do not know what a disk image is then definitely stay away from this program.
