OK, but now that it exists there is nothing stopping you doing a new win7 install on the existing partition right? It's a new empty OS anyway. Try a new install and that might sort your issues because when you use existing partition it doesn't want to create the small 100MB partition and it puts all boot files on the partition you select as destination. That's what you want, right?
And once the new install is there with all boot files, update-grub will have no problem adding it.
