    Have you tried booting from the Windows 7 DVD and going to the repair console? From there you should have access to the command prompt. Try entering "BootRec.exe /fixmbr" and/or "BootRec.exe /rebuildbcd" (without quotes). Any success?

    What do you mean by "deny"? It doesn't read the external hard drive? The commands are not accepted?

    OK, but you get to the command prompt? What is the exact error message?
