If you are not ready to give up on repairing Win7 there are some other steps we can try. If you need to rescue files you can use Copy & Paste - in Windows Recovery Console
Actually I would leave the XP partition intact and install WIn7 after deleting System and C, creating new partition in that space using Drive Options in Step 6-7 of Clean Install Windows 7.
This gives the XP partition a fair chance at being configured into a Dual Boot menu as WIn7 does when installed last to a system with another OS. So why not, since that was the goal.
