Stuck with MBR showing unbootable partition options

$

Hello everyone. I seem to have gotten myself into a problem by accident.

I have a Win 7 netbook where I am trying to get Mac to run and whilst editing the MBR to include the Mac partition as boot option, I have accidentally deleted the original Win 7 partition from the list. As a result I can now only select to boot onto the Mac partition and given that this one is not working, I cannot do anything on the machine.
This netbook came with Win 7 installation preloaded, but this has been removed from the second partition on the disk where it used to live, so no chance to restore from there.
Is there anyway I could simply run a tool from a USB or something that would enable me to repair the MBR entries so that I relist the Win 7 partition on the boot menu?

Thank you in advance for any tips!

P.S.- BTW, at the moment I do not have any Windows computer running nearby, so I can only really work within Mac.
