I invested in a SSD, and it can't boot up instantly due to an idiotic move I made. When installing windows 7 via flashdrive, it went into a loop and "installed" it three times. When it boots, I have to choose one of the three (the second one is the only one that works. the other two just give errors.) . I was curious if there was a way to fix this without having to completely re-format my SSD and lose EVERYTHING. thanks, Justin.

Consider checking for extra Windows files on the drive and removing them if needed. You should be able to handle that yourself.

This setup seems unusual—there should be just one Windows installation per drive. It might be better to copy all your files to another storage device, note which programs you have, then reset everything there.

It would have been simple before setting everything up. Avoid dealing with issues you can easily resolve after a fresh installation.
