    Hi

    My PC got strucked while running windows 7.
    I re-installed the Windows7 again and now working fine.
    The only problem now is that, when I start, it is showing 2 Windows 7 and I have to choose 1. Can you pls help me to delete/remove the old windows 7 from the system????

    Try easybcd..

    Download EasyBCD 2.1 - NeoSmart Technologies

    It allows you to remove an entry, rename an entry etc etc.. Very easy to use. Make sure u delete the correct entry.

    if EasyBCD is not compatible then you could try BCDEdit command in Win7

    Just start a CMD with Admin
    1. Type
    bcdedit.exe
    it should display something like this

    then review and find the duplicate and its resumeobject id . for example if i want to delete windows vista here then my resumeobject id would be {a77450a3-92be-11dd-ac5c-991ff432a142}

    then in the cmd prompt type

    bcdedit /delete {a77450a3-92be-11dd-ac5c-991ff432a142} /cleanup

    this will remove the entry from BCD store and list in the boot menu

    Hi,

    Thanks for your quick reply.

    I typed the same in CMD.
    Then, I got a message "The boot configuration data store could not be opened. Access is denied"
    This is my laptop and I think I have Admin Prevliage. How I can check the previlage?
    I have attached the snapshot of the message along with this.

    Thank you,

    Ibrahim
