I was not aware we were working on a Windows 7 system, as your profile says "windows xp."
We have proven recovery methods here, if anything bad were to happen. Go ahead with this fix, which would be correct for Windows 7.
Fix using MBRCheck.exe
Run MBRCheck.exe again by double-clicking on it.

- Wait until you see the following line: Enter 'Y' and hit ENTER for more options, or 'N' to exit:
