wow you really messed up. use GParted -- Welcome to repair your partitions however you need them and then try to reinstall 7. probably wouldn't hurt to peek into bios first though just to make sure everything is okay in there.

Download gparted, burn it to disc as bootable image... boot from new disc, format the drive as NTSF... Now boot from your Windows 7 DVD and re-install ... enjoy..

Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool

The Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool allows you to create a copy of your Windows 7 ISO file on a USB flash drive or a DVD. To create a bootable DVD or USB flash drive, download the ISO file and then run the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool. Once this is done, you can install Windows 7 directly from the USB flash drive or DVD.

Do you see this screen when you boot from DVD?

Hello,

That means that you are not booting from the discs correctly. Enter your BIOS setup (F2 usually on first screen), and set your CD drive to the first priority booting.

Alternatively, you could press F12 or F11 (depending on your machine), and manually tell the computer to boot from the CD drive.

   Note

This option may be disabled in the BIOS; if necessary, enable it.

But it is gving error while installing Os saying "Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system" as i already deleted and merge my old OEM partition.
