problem in reinstallation of window 7 urgent

[dare2winn]

hi friends, i have reinstalled window yesterday. when naming of pc completes and other steps like time zone comletes and it countdown for the re start then it ask me the option to boot the pc giving two option of window 7 and again just below of it another window 7 and says press f10 for advance option which contains boot normally or safe mode etc,( for few sec and boots itself within 2 sec if no option is chosen) ans checks video performance etc

my question is that i have selected custom installation and formated the c drive then why it shows me the option of two window 7?when i installed few months ago there was not any such options and pc used to boot itself without asking any boot mode,

plese give me the idea

regards

For a clean install, better you forma tnot only the c drive, but also the 100 mb system reserved partition, too.

Type msconfig in the search box of the start menu and hit enter. You will get the system configuration window. The second tab there is boot. Can you post a screenshot of that window, with that boot tab selected ?

What happens if boot from the other boot entry? Crash, some recovery stuff, same windows as the other entry ... ?

1. Open the Control Panel (All Items view), and click on the Administrative Tools icon. then close the Control Panel window.

2. Click on Computer Management in Administrative Tools, then close the Administrative Tools window.

3. In the left pane under Storage, click on Disk Management. (See screenshot below)

hi arc ...thanks for the response, i have sent the screen shot . please help me as much as possible

msconfig screenshot shows only ONE bootoption and it stays on screen for 30 seconds. After 30 seconds it boots the default OS. But there is only ONE bootoption so you don't even see it (because that's the only one that's possible).

It must be something else! Can you post a camshot of that bootmenu?

 

[Arc]

I am going with Kaktussoft. As there is only one boot option listed in the msconfig boot tab, you should not see more than one boot options there.

BTW, have you any software like Advanced System Care or TuneUp installed ?

Try it over again and this time delete all partitions during install during Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7.

thank u my frens for the great response. ok what ever is the problem . just answer me will that affect my pc by any way ? and when i re install can i formate the system drive of 100 mb? or it should be untouched? just two queries hope u will help me

regards

i am attaching the image of that dialog box but i have not formatted my pc . it is the my frens bootin pic but very much similar to mine, just difference is '' in place of'' window set up'' in this box highlighted but in my case there are two options window 7 ultimate and just below that window 7 ultimate. other option are same''

so what is this problem , will it going to harm my pc further or its normal?

 

[gregrocker]

No it won't affect your PC - you should delete at least the System Reserved and C partition once you've backed any data up.

However read the special note for Dell owners in Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7. If you don't want the Recovery or OEM Tools partition I would delete them too since it's likely neither will run after reinstall and neither are needed anyway when you've clean reinstalled.

So you have 2 options which are both EXACTLY the same? May that's why msconfig only shows one.

Do this in http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/783-elevated-command-prompt.html

bcdedit/enum all >bcd.txt

Then post bcd.txt (just open in notepad and copy/paste to forum, or attach to forum)
Then delete bcd.txt

The only problem you have is two exactly the same boot entries? Boot entries open the same windows version, so are both working fine?

You need spaces in that.

bcdedit /enum all > bcd.txt

the bcd.txt file will be in c:\windows\system32 directory.
