Did you delete XP when installing Win7? Are you sure?

Post up a screenshot of your maximized Disk management drive map with listings, using Snipping Tool in Start Menu. Tell us what's on each partition. Chances are one has an unfinished install of XP, maybe even the old XP Pro install.

I asked for DIsk Management drive map with listings.

Type Disk Management in Start Search box.

Open and maximize the window.

Open Snipping Tool in Start Menu, draw a rectangular box around drive map and all listings.

Was D formerly XP partition? Only OS partitions should be marked Active. Check if there is a Windows file on there.

How was Win7 installed, from boot or run from XP?

You can try booting the DVD Repair console to run Startup Repair a few times to see if it will sort it out.

on drive D there are only files that a wanted to keep like outlook express e-mails files
small downloaded programs : pictures documents .
As my windows 7 was an upgrade copy I installed it with windows xp on but when asked for upgrade or clean install I said clean install and i t warned me windows xp would be lost, I still used clean install.

In the future you should boot the installer to install Win7.

I have no idea why XP Pro setup would be on your boot menu unless it was left over from when XP was installed and only showed up now. You can check in msconfig>Boot to see if it has a listing to Delete.

I would not recommend rebuilding the BCD as the commands are complicated and could bork your system if you make an error. The automated methods here as they are more user-friendly. So try running Startup Repair a few times to see if it will sort it out.

When you get ready to reinstall wipe the boot sector first with Clean command: SSD - HDD Optimize for Windows Reinstallation
