you have two ssds and used both windows 10 and windows 7. during startup, the system would indicate which os you wanted to boot into. recently your windows 10 became corrupted, forcing a fresh install. now when you boot, it doesn’t show windows 7 even though its files are on another ssd. msconfig didn’t display anything either. you might need to restore windows 7 from a backup or reinstall it completely if it’s essential.

It appears both W7 and 10 used the identical bootloader on the 10 partition, which has now been replaced. You’ll need to reinstall W7 into the bootloader again. For more details, check this guide: https://superuser.com/questions/511582/h...tallations
