    There may be 2 problems:

    1. When you removed the Vista partition you may have removed the Win7 MBR - see here: Bootmgr is missing - Fix
    2. Your Win7 may not be properly activated. Try this: Activate Windows 7 Online

    Try to run the startup repair as many as 3 separate times with system restarts between the repairs to see if that will write the boot files back to the system.

    I get all the way to where I get the prompt to enter the password for my username, then it doesn't get past preparing your desktop without me hitting ctrl alt delete. What do I do to get it to load my stuff all the way

    I thought you were trying to repair an existing installation.



    Where did you get the install disk from?

    If all else fails, zero your HDD and reinstall. Windows 7 is a bit ridiculous with false "not genuine" messages after the slightest change in hardware or disk configuration. I just had a really satisfying conversation with the supervisor of one of microsoft's call center monkeys who tried to tell me I had to buy a new windows disk after I upgraded the HDD in a laptop I have for sale and then reinstalled windows using a decrapified system image, which gave me the expected windows not genuine message.
