Boot Manager is missing win 7

[SoundEng]

Hi all,

specs first

Q6600 3.0Ghz
Striker II Formula
2GB Ram
9600GT
Samsung F1 750Gb
Seagate 1TB

right problem is, basically i had split my F1 into 180 gig partition and a 520 gig, (this was for booting win 7 RC ages ago) ive wanted to reformat it and extend the 520GB partition, so restore the disk to its physical state, however in windows i could not do this. so i got Gparted live and did it in there and also extended the other partition. so now i have a 750 gig HDD with one partition. so rebooted got an error message saying BOOTMGR is missing press CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart. i had expected this so booted into the win 7 disc hit repair. Both disks were not detected and i hav no idea where the drivers are.
so anyways i clicked next without selecting HDD, then ran repair boot or whatever it is, its the first option. rebooted still same error message. hmm i thort so i went in again and used cmd to run bootsec.exe using command bootsec /nt60 ALL. thort this may hav sorted it. but alas it hadnt same error. so now i am completely stumped.

if i clicked on load drivers where it displays what HDD's its found, i could see the 2 HDD's in my computer, so they still function and they show up in the bios.

am i missing something? im completely out of ideas

feel free to ask if anything isnt clear

thanks
