    Dual boot recovery - windows 7 boot recovery


    Hello, my HD is divided in 3 parts which was: i had dual boot with windows xp 64, windows 7 64, and another windows xp 64(this is a old installion which i had problems with system files) but the help i want ask here is because i of that fault windows xp i installed a new copy in this new copy i messed the boot with easy bcd i deleted windows 7 informations now im not able to boot into windows 7 i was able to fix the windows xp boot using the cd repair console and the command bootfix, but now i need fix the windows 7, i have the cd but the cd installs the home edition and the windows 7 i have is the ultimate so im not sure if it works for recoverng the boot... also i'm afraid of trying it and it deleting the windowsxp boot information.
    p.s when i boot i the computer shows me 2 options to boot into the old xp installation and the new so it shows:
    windows xp professional
    windows 7 (i added from easy bcd, but it has no boot information at all, nothing)
    so i choose windows xp and then appear other options:
    windows xp on D:/
    windows xp on E:/
    this is pretty annoying... someone help me please? Forgive my english language i tried my best to be clear.

    If you boot from a Win7 DVD, you should be able to run Startup Repair without reinstalling the OS. You might need to run it three times to get startup working again.
