Well I did a lot of , Ghosting drives , loading some boot data over USBs , creating bootdisks , recovery disks, so kind of stuff I need to do a massive work of preparing 2 drives for RAID1 on the bro's PC , but I did not actually do anything to my PC , I didn't modify the boot , nor did I put in the recovery cd and accidentially run it

So when I boot , there is a Windows NT 4.0/XP option which popped one day up all by it self , alongiside WIN7, but there is no such record in msconfig ... only win7

EDIT: I did run it lol , I did run some recovery CDS but not booting the win7 drive (i don't have dual boot)

Sometimes i disonnected my drive before I was setting up two other drives ... and one still got XP on , one was ghosted , well ... it's a long story but it got mixed somehow somewhere. I actually did not acess the win7 drive , and when I formatted ; i unpluged all drives other than the target one.

EDIT: anyone ?:)

have you tried booting to the win 7 recovery console of the OS disk, and letting that try a repair, i have seen it fix similar issues,
 
This is what I did , I didn't left the automated fix system to finish , I think that's for "problems to boot" but I don't have those , I have problem with this boot screen that has to be for some reason bugging me about OS choice , I don't have any other OS , It's just some crap from Norton HDD ghost and those drivers and USB flash drives I did for the RAID0 for another PC.

There was just something left or what , since then , this screen always appears at boot.
 
from what i read, you've got multiple OS's on multiple HDD's - and its showing the XP OS from the XP drive you have connected.

disconnect it, or format it if you dont want to see its boot options anymore.
 
Have you tried this ?

Sorry that I cannot test it, but I do not have Win7.
 
Use EasyBCD to delete the extra BCD entry that is pointing toward the non-existant XP/2000/NT drive.

No no , misunderstanding , sorry for english , I meant , that I had multiple stuff before (2 hdds , 1 os each ) , but when fizzled with formatting , cloning and doing bootable USB flashes from that I got this, and then I was alread using only one HDD with one Win7.
I have to mention that one of my HDDs was out for the RAID on other PC, which means i had only one the early raid preparations.

Ofcourse I don't have that flash drive in , it was intended for the other PC to make RAID0 , had it in once and never again , anyways I have only one OS atm, win7.

[here is when actually noticed this is a common problem and a fix available]

Didn't I mentioned that , it's right this , there is no other boot option except one the one that im using , Win7.



So yeah , easybcd , thanks.

EDIT: Lol , hmm , so this actually happened from the bootable USB ? it would make sense. I did tried to boot from it on my PC to make sure it works. it was some DOS-kind of system. Anyways that most likely made the new boot option.
