Default Triumph Bricked

So I was running CM7 and went to restore my stock nandroid and accidentally restored the Optimus V nandroid that I had on my SD card. So now when I turn the phone on it just goes into the bootloader, and when I plug in my USB cord, Windows make the noise signifying that something's plugged in, but the drive never comes up. I have no idea what to do.

Edit: Ok, so I guess I didn't think to try loading into recovery. I was fortunately able to reflash one of my Triumph backups and everything was fine. Now I feel like an idiot I was starting to panic because my OV was accidentally bricked so I thought I'd be without a phone.

rofl I have been there! I panicked when I replaced my cwm with the latest blue text one and I got no boot or anything! 2 days of self loathing before a little research showed me I replaced my entire recovery and boot loader with a .img! Luckily this site can save your butt and I was able to download the original and intact recovery folder which did the trick. Happily pimpin cm7 on my triumph now.

I've had a heck of a time trying to get my phone back to stock. I have to reset the md5 sums every time!
