I tried to make use of the win7 DVD(I had lost my DVD) to fix the mbr but the problem is when I choose repair, It says that this version of Windows is incompatible with yours

Solution 1:
One way of doing that, is to download the Ultimate Boot CD, once downloaded, go ahead and burn the ISO to CD, boot from it, and run a command prompt.
Once you get the prompt, run the the following two commands in a command prompt:
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
bootrec /rebuildbcd
