I must confess I am stumped. I have never before seen a case in which marking the partition as active, then running Startup Repair 3 times did not work. Hang on, I will send out a call to our experts. Stand by!
Be aware the GRUB-corrupted Win7 MBR's are nearly impossible to recover if any remnants of GRUB remain.
Please unplug all other drives but Win7.
Boot into Win7 DVD and click through to recovery tools to run Startup Repair 3 separate times.
It must first attempt to repair the MBR and then rewrite it to Win7. It assumes each fix given will work until you return for another.
All bootrec and bootsect commands are now automated in Win7 Startup Repair, the exception being if no installation is found to repair. Bootrec/bootsect can then trigger discovery.
You say that you used Partition Wizard to restore the MBR. Which exact feature of PW did you use and how?
