install BCD

EasyBCD is a completely free application by NeoSmart Technologies which helps you configure the bootloader entries stored in SystemVolume\Boot\BCD.

Add Windows 7 Entry
Itz easy to use

I cant be sure that ur win7 bootmgr is still alive. If it is, EasyBCD will get it to work. But if its not, here's a quick solution to that :
Boot with win7 DVD and open recovery console. Do try startup recovery, it may fix the problem (#lol). Then,
"bootrec.exe /nt60 C:\" (default windows location is C:/, change it accordingly).
After that, type :
bootrec.exe /fixmbr
bootrec.exe /fixboot
bootrec.exe /rebuildbcd
And restart the system. Try it out !
