""the boot configuration data store could not be opened access is denied""
I am the only admin account

If you are not running in the hidden Administrator account, then you need to Run As Administrator.
Type CMD in search box, right click result, click Run as Administrator.
Another thing popped up. I save files, screen shots in an external drive. I saved previous screen shots in it. I tried saving something else and it came up with access denied? yet it let me save it in a previous screen shot file, but not a new one.
Anyway lets get dual boot sorted. I want to use 7 but wife needs XP
You definitely need to run an elevated command to use bcdedit.
Rt click cmd and run as admin.
Run the CMD as adminstrator, try SIW2's commands again.
Copy and paste so there is no doubt.
Did it all ok. restart and it came up XP or 7..YES...clicked XP..then this

Can you boot into Win7, post back a screenshot of Disk Management and EasyBCD listings. Use Snipping tool in Start Menu, attach files with paper clip in reply box.
We can then advise you if a Repair Install will correctly reconfigure the dual boot menu as it should, or if perhaps a simple change using EasyBCD will do the job.
