My hard drive has a lot of partitions (don't ask me why). Basically there bootloaders (Windows/Linux). Only one works - the windows bootloader. All others must be removed. How to find out which bootloader is located on?

The one that in the disk management snap-in is called bootable.

Start - Run - msconfig - Boot
See the path to the bootloader there. If the path is not specified explicitly (by disk), you can look in "Computer Management - Disk Management". Look for a drive that has a hidden "System Reserved" partition, usually next to the system drive with the bootloader.
