First, Post a screenshot of Disk Management window - like the one Smarteye posted so we can see what your setup is - and which steps below you need to follow.
If you already have bootmgr and Boot folder on 7 partition , all you need to do is Step 4,5,6.
1. Go to folder options and make sure Hidden files are showing. Also untick "Hide protected operating sytem files", Apply, OK.
2. Look at the root of the partition and you will see bootmgr and a yellow folder called Boot.

3. Copy and paste those, skip copying bcd as it won't let you, then use the bcdedit command to export a copy of bcd from the current System partition to the Boot folder you have just copied across, like this:
4. type cmd in Start search box - when it pops up, rt clcik and run as admin, then type :
bcdedit /export C:\boot\bcd {enter}
Close cmd prompt.
5. Go to Disk Management , rt click C and Mark as Active.
6. Restart to hand System status to C.
I did what's written here except for step 5,6 my windows 7 was installed on E so i left E as active and i didn't understand the step 6 so i did in a different way but now when i try to open my computer there is an error:
"Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem :
1. Insert your windows installation disc and restart your computer.
2. Choose your language settings,and then click "Next" .
3. Click "Repair your computer."
File : /boot/bcd
so i put my windows 7 dvd but the language settings window won't come up so i can't click on next because of this i can't get to the step where i can "repair your computer".
