Part install Win7 doesn't show on BOOT.INI

[geowal19]

Basically was installing Win7 and it got stuck so I had to restart but now it won't load the installer and is now the primary boot so I want to delete that from the boot options but the only OS in BOOT.INI is Win XP I think this is what it looks like.

Any help would be appreciated.Thanks

Are you using a w7 CD?

I don't think W7 uses the boot.ini file. At least on my system it only lists my old install of XP.

You may need to use the recovery console by booting from the disc. Search for the command bcdedit.exe, that may give you some useful info.

Edit:

In fact here is the contents of my boot.ini.
