Yeah thats what I ment lol

Problem I foresee here is that someone in there wisdom may have installed windows multiple times to the same drive and this is where it gets messy.
If when following my first method which is what I would advise because opening the boot ini file will only show you where the system is set to look for operating systems.The msconfig route will show you if the other entries are valid or not.
If more than one of these are valid the op needs to check the paths.
