You need to put the partition back and reinstall windows7.
Once it is installed you need to go into the command prompt as an administrator and use the bcdedit to delete the windows 7 description.
There might be more than one description if you have previously installed windows 7 before.
This is where i got my info from:

“-upon any mistakes load into either DOS or XP, etc which ever is easiest (or still remaining on your system)
-copy the old boot.ini over the modified one, and try again”

Doesn’t say WHERE these files can be found. ;)
