Hi Friend,
I hope you will be able to resolved this issue which I have described below, I am really upset because of this issue so I want the experts help on the same.
My Issue:
I have window 2003 server in my one drive and window 7 in the another drive. At the starting days I just have only window server 2003 in one drive and no other window in any drive. After some days I installed win 7 in the second drive. That time all things were fine because I was getting 2 options at start up to choose either 2003 or win 7.
Yesterday I reinstalled win 7 again because I was facing some issue in my win 7. I formatted the partition in which win 7 was exists and installed win 7 again. After getting the complete installation I restated my PC and since then I am not able to see the server 2003 at the start up even not able to see the win 7 option at start up. when I start my PC I just got the win 7 desktop (it seems I have only 1 window).
I also checked the boo.ini by MSCONFIG, still I get only one option there : Window 7 (c:/windows) : Current OS; Default OS.
Please let me know what should i do to get boot-up options for both windows. Is there any file in which I need make some changes to get the options at startup.
Thanks,

Can you press F8 before Windows 7 starts and choose the Repair my computer option?
If so can you access the command prompt through the repair GUI and run the following command:
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
bootrec /rebuildbcd
(see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927392 for details on how to use the BootRec command)
Does bootrec /scanos find both your windows installations?
Also might try a chkdsk /r /p
If you cannot access the repair computer option try accessing it from your Windows 7 cd.
