Fixing this error: "error: no such partition" "Grub Rescue"?

Before re-paritioning my HDD back to 1 partition only using Disk Utility on my OS X install DVD, I had a triple boot with Snow Leopard, Win7, and Ubuntu using refit.

To back up, I partitioned an external HDD into two partitions. I used one partition for time machine for my OS X partition, and the other partition for a backup image of my Bootcamp partition using Winclone.

After partitioning my main HDD back to 1 partition, I restored using my time machine backup, then using Bootcamp assistant on my newly restored OS X I created a new partition for Win7 (slightly larger than before). Then I restored the Winclone image to the new Bootcamp partition.


When trying to get into Bootcamp through refit, I get the error described in the title. If I attempt to hold option during boot, I will get two boot options, refit and Windows. Pressing Windows will also give me this error. How can I fix this?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8), 15" 2.66 GHz i7, 8GB RAM, 500 GB
