LifeH20, you'll need to use EasyBCD even if you like it or not.First use EasyBCD to reinstall the BCD bootloader (manage Bootloader->reinstall Vista bootloader->Write MBR) (which brings back win7 but 'vanishes' XP) then reboot into win7. In EasyBCD in win7 ADD a entry for XP (go to Add/Remove Entries, select Windows NT/2k/XP/2k3 in the dropdown box, select the drive letter for the drive that XP is on, then press Add entry.

I am currently working in Windows XP, Windows 7 is also installed already in i: drive.Previously there was a dual boot menu because i installed Windows 7 after XP, but then XP got some problems and i simply formated c drive and reinstalled XP.Now there is no menu to dual boot.I have once tried the Easy BCD and i am afraid of this tool, by using this somehow i became able to load windows 7 but Windows XP boot vanished. I did all that shitty stuff again (reinstalled xp and then windows 7).
