Use any boot media you have to mark the original system partition Active again.

You should then be able to boot up as before.

so what you are saying is there is no way to fix this. unless i use windows repair disc?

Forget it. I am just going to boot to mini windows. delete all windows stuff. and start over aFACKINGin. Thanks for the "help". I could go through this hassle to show greg that windows 7 doesn't have drivers that work for me, but **** it. 3 hours wasted, when i could have been up and running.

greg your a smart dude, just couldn't find the right knowledge for what i thought was a simple fight. Like when in xp.

We use modern Win7 methods here, not XPired ones. You're the first I can remember here out of thousands I've helped who cannot boot a Repair CD.

I cannot read exactly your BIOS listings to be sure but it seems you have the key SATA controller settings which would boot your disks disabled.

You can use free Partition Wizard bootable CD
boot it and click on Disk1 which is currently set Active, then from Disk tab select Rebuild MBR, Apply.

This may change System to Win7 partition by itself, without the Startup Repairs.

If not, rightclick on Sys Reserved partition to Modify>Set to Active, click OK. Reboot to see if it starts. If not you may need to mark Win7 partition Inactive.

Or reinstall. PW can wipe the HD to force installer to autostart. Unplug all other HD's. Use AHCI SATA controller setting, not RAID. Now might be a good time to default to onboard SATA if you don't need RAID any longer.

Yep i am going to reinstall. I hate how i came for a simple answer, but could not find one.

I gave you the exact steps for what you requested that have worked for many others, however you need to be able to boot a Repair CD to complete them if Commands won't work.
