Spell out your words.
And since you read the word GRUB, did you try any of the articles? Anything? There are many how-tos on the internet about this, and Google can lead you to them. This has been answered on here many times too, if you search:
i take it you installed grub ON THE FIRST LINUX partition and NOT on the MBR
all of the fedora/ xp , fedora /vista dual boot guides are 100% worthless for win 7
boot using the gparted live cd
and change the boot flag on the ms bootloader to OFF
and make the linux /boot partition bootable
Thnx for all buddies!! I did it my self and succeeded after posting the thread here.. i tried once again and did it trying another options.. anyway thnx..

Great. Again, SPELL OUT YOUR WORDS, and since you found a solution, how about posting it, so the community can benefit, since it's not the one posted already?
