From what you posted in the other thread, your active partition isn't set. Use diskpart, and try again.

Which partition did you set active ?
It needs to be the one containing the \boot folder and the bootmgr, which in the case of W7 is probably not the C: disk.
W7 installs with a small (100Mb) unlettered partition for the boot files generally called "System Reserved".
If W7 came pre-installed by an OEM, they may have incorporated this into their own recovery partition.

thanks for d reply terry
when running the following command - bcdedit.exe /import c:\boot\bcd.temp
i get the following error message - The store import operation has failed.
The requested system device cannot be found

this is after i chose the OEM partition. and set it as active

edit:
i fixed the problem!!!! the whole time i was trying 2 repair it from a bootable repair usb! as soon as i put in a windows 7 CD i was able to follow the instructions and it worked flawlessly!!
THANK YOU SOO SOO SOO SOO SOOOOO MUCHH!!! YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!
