Well

I recently parttition a portion of my HD to install windows 7. I deleted said partition cause i couldnt get it to work on my PC however whenever I boot my machine I get to the OS Chooser with Earlier version of Windows, Windows 7, Windows 7. Below is what my boot.ini file looks like. I dunno what to do...its driving me crazy:
;
[boot loader]
timeout=0
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /NOEXECUTE=OPTIN /FASTDETECT

Thanks all for your help
