Although not very flexible, putting win7 on logical partition isn't a problem. But the boot partition must be primary and active of course.
Putting boot files on winxp partition is not very smart. He'd better use a special partition for that purpose only. In the situation as it is now, winxp can't be removed easily. (of course delete all winxp files and only leave bootmgr and bcd would work).
He can leave it the way it is now. Or he can convert win7 partition to primary using a partition manager. Afterwards a startup repair is needed I suppose.
