Hi all, hope you're having a nice Christmas 
(i am reusing the 1 year old drive from my old PC )
I've just finished building my PC and booted it using an old BLANK sata drive which i used to instal windows and copy the data from my old pc Sata drive in order to do a clean instal.
I have since copied all of the data to the spare drive, as well as installed window son the spare drive.
(forgetting to disconnect the old spare drive)
I installed windows on the 1 year old drive, then copied all data, re installed programs etc. and during all the restarts i never had a problem, but then on one restart a message came up during the reboot saying BOOTMGR missing (or something along those lines) so i used startup repair and all is well apart from;
NOTE i was using two drives, both with the same version of windows during this setup.
when booting the machine, after the bios messages and the post beep, i keep getting an option of two ''windows 7 (recovered)'' to choose from.
i have formatted the spare drive/removed it completely and yet i still have the option upon startup


..........Help.......
please.
I'm using Windows 7 Professional 64 bit on an asus p8z68 v pro.
the old spare drive is not as good as the one from my old PC so thats why I'm re using it
thankyou!
