Glad it all works.. So this is just a side note and
fyi when using a Windows disc to fix a multi-boot environment
Since you had a mixed Win 7/XP boot machine, I'm going to guess you used your Win 7 disk to fix things? (As one should always try using the newest Windows version install disk) because
1) Win 7 knows about the old XP boot manager (
Win 7 uses a different / newer boot manager then XP uses
2) So if one were to use their XP install disk to fix XP/Win 7 multiboot, they often see their Win 7 boot option
disappear (because XP doesn't know about Win 7 booting so it ignores any Win 7 boot info)
Also, checkout a very cool and easy tool for managing
Win 7/ Vista/ XP and Linux multi-boots is
EasyBCD
Note my machine example below for my XP/Win 7 dual booting
/* edit */
btw.. if you look in my example, note that the XP and Win 7 entries each point to
different boot loader program excutables:
ntldr vs
winload.exe
