Did you try booting Win 7 installation DVD and choosing the repair option ?
When you deleted Vista did you go to msconfig and remove Vista from boot tab?

I do not know what the bcdboot command does, but did you use it to change to C:
Can you boot into safe mode or a command prompt by hitting F8?
I used the Win 7 CD recovery tool to type "bcdboot D:windows". This worked well, got loaded into Win7.
Did you try doing the same thing but using C: instead of D: If you can't boot into the same situation, use the install DVD and choose Repair after the initial information collection.
Try the startup repair option. If that does not work, try to get into the Command window and type bcdedit. Look at the bootloader and see where the loader is pointing, it should say something like:
\Windows\system32\winload.exe
partition=C:
If it says D:, then you know your problem is, assuming you did change the partition to C: .
Well, things are getting better for you because I am out of other ideas..
try
insert your windows 7 dvd, then on the second screen (after choose your language) go to repair your computer.
go to command prompt and type in:
bootrec /fixmbr
press enter.
Then type this in:
bootrec /FixBoot
press enter.
reeboot
heres the details on the microsoft recovery options support site ........
let us know how it goes
or if your prefer download burn and use Link Removed - Invalid URL for MbrFix 1.3 option under MBR (Master Boot Record) Tools section
personally I might have given up by now as after trying for a few hours although it's nice to dig and discover new things the option of a fresh install can often take far less time in the long run
ouch
it's beginning to look like Acronis may have damaged your file system in the format but I'm not sure why unless you tried to move the partition ?
did you try the /RebuildBcd command as this scans all disks for installations that are compatible with Windows Vista or Windows 7 ?
