7 and xp dual boot problem

[Mraza]

hi guys i did a terrible mistake. i installed windows 7 first on one drive and then i install windows xp on separate drive. and when i restart there was no boot menu to choose the OS from list only windows xp started straight away. i did not knew about EasyBCD . and i put my windows 7 DVD and run recovery. now i can goto windows 7 but xp is missing again. is there any way i will not install xp from beginning and windows 7 can add boot menu in startup to choose xp or 7. please help

Regards

well i think there is some other way as mention in this post:
http://www.sevenforums.com/installation-setup/5173-windows-7-install-problem-vista-xp-dual-boot.html

i tried the method:

bcdedit /create {ntldr} /d "Windows XP"
 
bcdedit /set {ntldr} device partition=H:
 
bcdedit /set {ntldr} path \ntldr
 
bcdedit /displayorder {ntldr} /addlast

H is my drive letter for xp. and i got Windows Boot Manager at startup but when i wants to goto windows xp it shows me this message:

Files: \ntldr
Status: 0x000000f
Info: The selected entry could be located because missing or corrupted etc.. i hope there is some other way then re-installing xp again.
