Default too many operateing systems

When i got the blaster worm i paniced and re-installed
windows ... it was on its 1st day out so i hadnt heard of
it ..... Now, when i installed it again , i accidently
installed it on my storage drive(D:\) instead of my drive
for the operateing system (C:\)... I actually did this
twice before i got it right , and installed it on the C:\
drive. After i did i deleted all the files in my D:\
drive; but every time i try to start it says theres 2
other operateing systems , which neither will run b/c of
missing files........ is there any way to delete all the
files for windows on that drive without reformatting? i
dont want to loose all my stored files , and they wont
fit on my C:\ drive....
Any help greatly appreciated
Thanks again ,
Adam

Go to Control Panel, System, Advanced, Startup and Recovery, Settings. In
the System Startup section, click the Edit button to call up BOOT.INI.
Remove the line that references the erroneous installation. If you're
unsure of what to remove, post the contents of BOOT.INI here.
