My PC Thinks I have Two Copies of Windows Installed

When my computer boots up, it gets past the reading and verifying of the computers components fine and when it gets to the reading of the hard drive to launch a platform it asks me which windows would I like to load? So I have gathered that the computer thinks i have two Windows 7 installed. But the twist is that one is corrupt... as in, it cannot find the system32 file to run the windows platform, while the other version of Windows runs just fine.

I have tried to sort this out myself and have been looking for the file that is telling my computer there are two Windows 7 installed but have not succeeded. Can you help?

Instruction
1. Go to the Start Menu.
2. Go to run.
3. Type in “msconfig” and Press Ok(Without Quotes).
4. Go to the “boot” Tab
5. Delete The Second Boot Path.

Sir But at this link they have given a long & Complicated Method. But I am giving a very short method & Easy Method.

Even so Sir, you should give credit to the original posters, even if you are shortening it down.
