Whatever partition manager you were using may be able to recover the partitions - from it's boot media.
If not, looks like you will have to reinstall
You might have a chance - it depends what stage it was at.
Rt click it > properties,Unblock,Apply,OK.
Unzip it.
Burn it to cd/dvd as an image ( not as data ). DO NOT FORMAT THE CD/DVD.
Win7 has an image burner built in - otherwise get imgburn or similar. SetupImgBurn_2.5.7.0.exe <- ImgBurn Downloads | Software - Digital Digest
Boot that cd/dvd on the sick machine.
When you get to the desktop, give it 30 secs to settle, then click the Partition Wizard icon.
Select partition recovery - do a quick scan of the whole drive.
When it has finished, it lists the partitions it has found.
tick ALL the partitions you want to keep, OK, Apply.

Wait, my computer is stuck on the boot manager, will i be able to do all this from there?
Not sure what you are saying.
Are you tying to boot the cd and it is sticking?
I assume you have another machine you can d/l that on and burn it to cd.
Then put the cd into the sick machine and boot it.
no i get cant even get to the desktop im stuck on the windows boot manager
