    Then it must be a Logical partition which can't host its own boot files. Do you have a 100mb System Reserved partition as I stated it is the preferred one to mark Active?

    If this doesn't help then post back a camera snap of Partition Wizard bootable CD's drive map and listings.

    Your C drive is ACTIVE so it boots from it and display the bootmenu. And your running OS is C as well. You don't see any grub stuff on boot? You did a startup repair to fix the grub problem? (if so it put the win7 MBR on disk)

    Did you replace physical disk MBR with win7 MBR (instead of grub)?
    Did you replace C "volume boot sector" with win7 bootsector (not neccesary, can't imagine why grub would be there). Anyway replace both.

    Boot into recovery environment->command prompt

    Code:
    bootrec/fixmbr
    bootrec/fixboot
    Both succesfull? If so... reboot normally and delete both partitions. I'm 100% sure it will still boot
