These two commands should do (booted to recovery console):
1. bootsect /nt60 ALL /force /mbr
2. bcdboot c:\windows

in command 2) - drive letter "c:" should correspond to your Windows 7 drive -
(check with "dir c:\windows", "dir d:\windows" ...)

If Win 7 was installed on D: then removing the XP C: partition will render it unusable. You need to leave the C: or at least a small C: partition. Also, I think you need to change the last part of boyans answer to

2. bcdboot d:\windows

since that where Win 7 is.

It is not clear how Windows recovery environment is enumerating and mapping drives.

One is sure - Recovery environment is mapped to drive letter X:

To be sure which drive letter is mapped to Windows 7 partition - needed for the command "bcdboot" - you have to check using the "dir" command or some other way.

For this purpose it is always good to give partitions good symbolic names like "Windows 7-32", "XP-64"...
This is important when installing several versions of Windows.
