Windows 10: Need help with non-booting Win 10 after trying to fix unlinked recovery partition

On the way to getting my C drive ready to be backed up, I’ve stupidly messed with it to the point that it doesn’t boot. If you could help, I’d be very grateful. I have several old programs on the drive that cannot be reinstalled so I’m loathe to do a complete OS reinstall. I’ve proved to myself that I know just enough of this stuff to get me into serious trouble, but that’s about it!My Win 10 is fully updated.

Help with HP System Recovery partition

I will try and cut this short:

So i have this HP pavilion DV5-1987 laptop, that came with windows vista home premium 32bit. A couple of months later i installed a 64bit version, and about a week ago i installed Windows 7 x64 RTM. Both installations was a fresh install on the C partition, leaving the recovery partition intact and alone.
Now i have regrettet and want the original os to be reinstalled. But it doesnt work.
The bios options does nothing, i press ESC to get to boot options, choose F11 for boot to recovery partition, and it goes straight to windows 7.
i search the internet for options and try these suggestions:
Mark drive D as active partition (the rec partition). it still boots to win 7.
boot to super grub from a boot cd, and press "AUTO MAGIC BOOTER" (something like that). it then shows me two identical "vista boot loader" to choose from, and both goes into win 7, and a third (other OS) that gives me and error and returns to grub loader.

there a several other suggestions but either they wont work in my scenario or are another iteration of what i have already tried.

So uh... help? please? if you need anymore information please ask.

Win 7 sys. recovery partition
