The easiest way to fix it, I think, would have been to remove the old disk and boot from a Win7 installation DVD/external drive, and chose to go to command prompt.
Then, simply:

Code:
       c:
       cd boot
       attrib bcd -s -h -r
       ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.old

       bootrec /RebuildBcd


Last line is the only relevant one. Most likely you did not have the bcd file at all - that was the problem.
bootrec /RebuildBCD would have scanned your drive, found the windows installation, asked you a couple of questions, and created the new BCD.

So far, it always worked for me. I even used on a broken RAID set.

No need for external tools. But I've heard a lot of good things about EasyBCD
