PC Peripherals Windows 7 boot problem after installing windows xp

[vikrant333]

I had 4 partitions on my hard drive. I had XP on C drive and win7 on F drive. I had to reinstall and reformat the xp partition i.e C drive due to virus, which had XP on it. After I reinstalled XP, the boot menu did not appear and I am not given the choice to boot into windows 7. Then i install the another copy of windows 7 in C drive and F drive contains the win 7 also. After installing then no option of F drive win7.

Please help me to get back the F drive win7 as it contains the very important software installed on F drive which i can`t take again.
the f drive win7 is not getting harmed , i think only boot.ini file is missing

So please help me to get back the win7

When you installed xp, you should've downloaded easybcd on it. (I think that's the name anyway) There you have to configure the system to show the boot menu.
I had the same problem when i installed xp after 7. I read an in debt tutorial somewhere. I'll try and post the link when I'm back on my comp.
