Are you very sure your win7 on harddisk and install DVD are both 64 bits (or both 32 bits)?
Did you install by using that dvd?

What should i do now?
C and E are just drive letters!! They are defined in current registry of running OS. Can differ if you boot another OS.

But how did you fix the bootmenu? I can only give instructions if I know whta you're doing!

in bcd.txt I see:
  • win8 is in it
  • recovery environment (repair computer using f8) is in it. bu recovery is not enabled
Start again startup repair (it works now I hope). Do it 3 times with boots in between. Be sure to select win7 ultimate to recover. Works?

Reboot normal afterwards and regenerate bcd.txt and post it

delete win8 from boot menu

bcdedit/delete {d8e7c184-3b28-11e2-a4a1-a1e141ded738}

disable recovery environment (F8 recovery)
Code:
reagentc/disable

unused recovery stuff
Code:
bcdedit/delete {d8e7c186-3b28-11e2-a4a1-a1e141ded738}
bcdedit/delete {d8e7c187-3b28-11e2-a4a1-a1e141ded738}

enable recovery environment (F8 recovery)
Code:
reagentc/enable
Post output
regenerate bcd.txt again
