I usually use MbrFix utility, available on the Hiren’s Boot CD. To restore Windows boot (assuming that it is Windows 7, and is installed on a single partition on a single hard disk), it is enough to enter the command:

MbrFix.exe /drive 0 fixmbr /win7

After that, confirm the changes to the Windows bootable partition. When you start MbrFix.exe without any parameters, you get a list of possible actions you can do with this utility.

These utilities have enough, but I do not recommend using them for novice users – their use requires some special knowledge, and in some cases can lead to data loss and you need to reinstall the operating system in the future.
