Look at the first line of the OS choosing screen ... Is it saying "Windows Boot Manager" or "GNU GRUB" ?

What is the OS you have installed first ? Windows or Linux ?

If you want use your existing windows installation , you follow the METHOD 2 or METHOD 3 of the tutorial http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/71432-partition-mark-active.html ,to mark your windows 7 's C partition as active, and then run http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/681-startup-repair.html for at least three times, with restarts after every single run. Later, you can add linux boot entry using EasyBCD.

if you want to reinstall windows, follow the tutorial http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/91339-ssd-hdd-optimize-windows-reinstallation.html to clean the disk from GRUB and EFI partitions. But before that, dont forget to backup all your important data externally.
