Windows 7 starting up in recovery console

When starting up I am shown the installation recovery screen. It fails to automatically repair it.

 

I've tried using all of the bootrec.exe and bootsect.exe options to find and restore the installation but it is not found. I know the data itself is intact, how do I go about manually restoring the mbr? I assume that's what I need to do.
