BOOTMGR missing

I got this message in Windows 7 Bootmgr is missing... Press Ctrl+Alt+Del
(You cannot boot with this problem)

I accidentally activated the secondary drive via Disk Management (it becomes the boot drive)
To recover the primary drive as the boot drive... You must have the windows 7 installation disc.. or Boot Repair CD, open a Command line and type this to set Windows 7 active again:

Go to repair and then command prompt.

Do these commands in sequence:

DISKPART
LIST DISK
SELECT DISK # (# for Windows 7 disk)
LIST PARTITION
SELECT PARTITION # (# for Windows 7 partition, or 100mb System Reserved partition if you have it)
ACTIVE
EXIT
