    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 "Win7-32", "XP-64"...
    This is important when installing several versions of Windows.
