You should be fine if you get bootini on the active partition set up right.
That is odd - I just downloaded the zip file I posted earlier, looked in boot.ini and it has the entries I put in there for you - i copied and pasted them here ( you may have inadvertently deleted them):
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows XP" /fastdetect
is what it says. That should work fine. You can put "Windows XP Professional" if you prefer.
If still no joy, get rid of the Real Mode entry for ntldr, open an elevated cmd prompt, and type:
bcdedit /delete { put here the identifier- 36ac8764...etc}
Then press Enter. Should say it completed successfully.
Now type: (press enter after each command)
bcdedit /create {ntldr} /d “Windows XP Professional”
bcdedit /set {ntldr} device boot
bcdedit /set {ntldr} path ntldr
bcdedit /displayorder {ntldr} /addlast
You can put anything you like as the description between " ".
