partition/mbr trouble after trying ubuntu

[xemino]

hello,

i had a three boot system w/ osx, ubuntu and win7. now i removed ubuntu and restored my time machine backup.

grub is gone ofc and so is the windows mbr. i tried messing w/ the bootcamp partition used the repair startup function from the win7 dvd, didn't fix it. tried testdisk under osx, couldn't save the partition layout nor rebuilt the boot sector.
i made it worse i guess, because now the bootcamp partition isn't recognized anymore. fiddling w/ gparted didn't help either.

all the data is still there, checked that via testdisk, i'd like to avoid re-installing and having to retrieve my files from the borked partition.

this is my partition inspector output from the refit tool:

*** Report for internal hard disk ***

Current GPT partition table:
 #      Start LBA      End LBA  Type

 Boot Code: Unknown, but bootable
 File System: NTFS
 Listed in GPT as partition 3, type MBR partition scheme
 Listed in MBR as partition 3, type 07  NTFS/HPFS

any help in getting my partition back and fixing the mbr would be very appreciated.
best

If you can still mount the Windows volume, you can use WinClone to make an image of it. If not, you can use "gpt" at the command line to rebuild your partition table, but it looks like the partition table is probably OK.

You can copy the MBR from another system using "dd" at the command line. Google it. There are directions out there for copying the MBR to a file on a Mac using dd.

as i said, i can't mount the partition no more, so fixing the mbr is only one thing.
