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. ;)

If you use knoppix it has a way to manage the drive partitions or edit them. If the second OS is on another partition then you can edit it or delete the partition. Then if you want to merge to another partition you would restart the computer and load knoppix to merge them.
