Install EasyBCD (from: http://neosmart.net/dl.php?id=1) and then use that to select the right default os/change boot times etc...

sounds like you have made the wrong parition active

boot up through a windows Vista \ 7 DVD, and drop into a command prompt

I forgot what the command is now, you should be able to find it in google

EDIT: Diskpart.. thats it
