You don't need Startup Repair if Win7 is booting correctly.
Short of moving the data off to wipe the external and reformat, you may need to manually remove the bootsecting in addition to the Active flag and boot files you've already removed.
I'm looking for the exact command now, to specify the external drive letter. Don't run the one in the TechRepublic thread as 52 is for XP while 60 is for Vista/7.
