In your bios you should find some boot priority settings that will hopefully allow you select the partition you have Windows installed on as the first boot device.

While I'm here, have you considered not partitioning at all and using separate drives instead? Physical hard-drives and even the smaller SSD's aren't as expensive as they used to be and using them can provide more storage, performance and data safety benefits than partitioning. If you have a choice in the matter I'd say that'd be the way to go.

I have 16 HD slots, I was just experimenting, seemed harmless at the time :L

I can't because I don't no how to get to the blue screen BIOS with asus. With that I can only select to boot the Hard Drive or DVD, not individual partitions

Keep pressing "delete" rapidly on start up

Install win 7 on one of them...you will be able then to access files from the original install...and Win 7 will also write a new boot for the original install, but it will now be "D"...any way, you should not loose anything, and you will need to get rid of one of them because of product registration.
