Windows 7 reverts to WinVista Boot Screen

Hi,
I just went through a lot of trouble to get Windows XP, Windows 7 and Grub2 (for all my Linux distros) working together. In order to do so, I followed this post on the Ubuntu forums. The part that concerns Windows 7 is Step 2.
I ran all the commands and was able to get all of the OSes working together, but now Windows 7 is using Vista's ugly green scrolling bar as the boot screen.
I've tried

Code:

bcdedit /set {current} locale en-US

and

Code:

bcdboot %WinDir% /l en-US

Neither worked.
I'd rather avoid doing a clean install, if possible.
Help?

I believe it has something to do with a different bootloader being used, in this case, GRUB. I've also heard of it happening when an illegal bootloader is used for the purpose of bypassing/cracking activation in 7. Strange that in both instances that the boot screen would be Vista's screen though. May be something Microsoft overlooked.

Then only way I know to repair it is a Repair Install but then Win7 will reconfigure the boot to take control from GRUB.

You'd need to remove GRUB and reinstall it afterward, but that might just recreate the problem.

Best to ask in Ubuntu too since they know GRUB best.

Can you attach a copy of the bcdedit readout? Open an administrative command prompt and type:
bcdedit

I got the Vista screen once when I was dual booting between Win 7 32 bit and 64 bit. It didn't hurt anything, just looked funny.

Also, did it ever show the real boot screen? Like on my netbook (dont have it anymore) it showed that screen because of the screen resoulution (I have no clue why Microsoft did that)

The screen resolution is fine. The correct boot screen has also been used until I performed the instructions at the link above. Since I've had the normal boot screen with Grub before, I'd venture to say that it isn't the problem.
Output of bcdedit:

Drive H: is the first partition of the first hard drive, and drive C: is the second partition of the third drive. In disk management, C: is marked as the system partition, and H: is just Active. Most of the files for BOOTMGR are gone on H:. All that is left is \BOOTSECT.BAK & \Boot\BCD & \Boot\bcd.log

Perhaps if I reinstalled BOOTMGR onto C: and removed all traces from H:?
I'm not exactly sure how to go about doing that though...

If you are referring to the tutorial I linked to, then yes, I followed it to the letter. However, I did accidentally copy files to "C:" at one point (which should be H: now...). I never did anything with those files, though. I just left them there, and later deleted those which I could. H:\boot\bcd and H:\boot\bcd.log are not deletable, even though they shouldn't be being used....

Just to help us keep it straight, which drive is listed in the bios as the primary drive, or the first one in the Disk order? It does seem GRUB likes to swap primary drives, so that might make things a little confusing..

Have you ever had Vista on this machine or any of the hard drives you are using? Since I saw the Vista screen using 2 versions of Win 7, I have to assume the screen is buried in Win 7 or it was on one of my hard drives, or possibly even in the bios somehow, but that would be just a wild guess.
