Oh, that's easy: Run a Startup Repair. That should take care of it immediately. If you don't know how, boot from the installation/repair disc and select "Repair my computer". It's self-explanatory from there.

Thanks for the help, I have got to the stage where both windows 7 installations are showing on the boot tab under msconfig,theres no option to remove the second O/S as the delete tab is greyed out. The 2nd windows 7 is on the d drive, this laptop has 2 drives.Ideally I want to delete windows 7 on d drive and install xp pro for some car diagnostic software which only runs on xp,Is there an easy guide how to do this..I have read Dual Boot Installation with Windows 7 and XP but need to uninstasll this installation on d drive

When you installed XP, it didn't know how to configure the dual boot with Windows 7.

When you ran Startup Repair on Windows 7, it only concerned itself with recovering Windows 7.

To recreate the Dual Boot, download EasyBCD and add XP back in using the Add/Remove tab, choosing type shown, name and correct drive
