Windows setup gone wrong

Boot into Windows 8 and run msconfig

 

Go to the boot tab and remove the option for Windows 7 setup. Then re-install W7.

 

Or just boot to Win8, and format the partition you were installing 7 to and start again.

Hello again,

 

I wanted to install Windows 7 next to windows 8 and the setup went wrong, mid install my PC just turned off. Now whenever I boot, I get the screen where you pick what you wish to boot up. All there is is ''Windows setup'' and ''Windows 8.1''. What can I do to remove the setup option? There's no disk inserted, I even unplugged the harddrive that held that partition. It's like a part of the boot files were saved somewhere and now keep returning or something. Cause right now I'm unable to do a Windows 7 install. 

 

When I pick the install option it just says to go to the uefi bios or boot up W8.
