Boguing, I'll give the suggested manual file uninstall/removal FF trick and CC clean up. Kind of you to offer Win7 on disc, is there a benefit to having this rather than use the one on the D partition?
The only advantage in doing it from a disc is mentioned by VP959 in that there may be extras built in that you don't want in your OEM version. I wouldn't worry about that though because it's easy enough to get rid of them. I don't think that the telemetry he mentions should trouble a reasonably able pc either.
So, in short, I reckon your install from the hidden partition should be fine, and I hope that the CCleaner thing worked.
