dual boot problem

I used the Windows 7 DVD to repair, and now it only boots in Windows 7.

The only focus of Startup Repair from the booted Win7 DVD is to recover Win7. It does not concern itself with the dual boot at all, just restarts Win7.

Now that you are in Win7, if you will post back a screenshot of your full Disk Management map, and the listings from the front of EasyBCD, we can advise you the exact steps to get your Dual Boot menu recovered.

Use the Snipping Tool in the Start menu, attach files using paper clip in Reply box.

Was this done on one hard drive?

You realize when you redid the XP partition, you wiped out the Win 7 boot files, which include a Boot folder and a bootmgr file plus possibly a hiberfil.sys and pagefile.sys.

The disk managment picture requested is important to us so we can understand you situation.

I am having exactly the same problems trying to use easy bcd;

Error Opening BCD Registry
The boot configuration data store could not be opened.
TThe syst4em cannot find the file specified.
Would you like to manually load a BCD registry for EasyBCD to manage?

I am following instructions here to create xp/win 7 dual boot;

Dual Boot Installation with Windows 7 and XP

Easybcd requests a BCD registry location and will not allow any entries to be created without it. I hunted around and as easybcd prompt mentioned something about running from a windows 7 boot loader, I found a BCD file location in the windows system32, in BOOT folder called BCD. Once selected it allowed me to use easyBCD. But when the time came to close the app and exit, it says;

"Unable to obtain exclusive access to D:\Windows\Bot\DVD\PCAT\BCD. If this is a removable disk, try ejecting and re0nserting it and then try again"

It is however NOT a removable disk, and it will not let me exit easybcd without dealing with this issue.

Which OS have you installed EasyBCD on? Are both OS's installed?
