Boot up using the Startup disk CD or Windows 7 DVD. (not the OEM manufacturer's Recovery Disk) If you have a Netbook, you will need a CD/DVD drive.
Make sure no USB drives are plugged.

Do a Strartup Repair:
Startup Repair
Note: You may need to do startup repair 3 to 4 times.
Startup Repair - Run 3 Separate Times

If you have not made your Startup Repair
System Repair Disc - Create
Do you have a mate with Windows 7 & CD/DVD RW Drive, how could burn one off.


But IMO, as Linux was install, you looking at a Reinstall.
For help to reinstall, Can you post your specs.

You must mark the Windows 7 partition Active before Startup Repair will repair or rewrite the System boot files onto its partition: Partition - Mark as Active (Method Two)

Startup Repair - Run 3 Separate Times

You can also use free Partition Wizard bootable CD to mark Active for a GUI (picture) of what you're doing. If you use PW CD, after Modify>Mark Active the Windows 7 or it's 100mb System Reserved partition (preferred), click on it's HD to highlight it and then from Disk tab run "Rebuild MBR" which may preclude the need to run the 3 Repairs.
