If this happened to me, I'd redo the installation by booting to the Win7 media and perform a clean installation.
Before I do that I would ensure that my data on the drive was backed up. If you have data, you could easily connect this drive to another PC via an IDE-USB connection and copy the data off.
From my years of experience, while you could technically fix your issue, I don't see the point. Windows is bad enough on a simple install, trying to fix this could leave your PC with issues.
