Default Re: Install Windows 7 in 2nd Hard Disk, now cannot boot

Ok my honeymoon with Windows 7 is over

I have restoried Win XP to my C: drive and used Super Grub Disk to restore the MBR as Win XP CD Recovery Mode is somehow not accepting my Admin Password
I have even formatted my 1st partition (XP) and Win 7 partition. Will this have deleted the MBR too? just a query.
Now when i reboot i get that Win 7 bootloader with Xp's entry but both doesnt boot. I can see why Win 7 disnt boot but Win XP too doesnt boot and tells me ntldr is missing but when checked throgh Debian, ntldr is indeed present.. So why am i getting Win7 loader instead of Win Xp loader? So i copied ntldr and ntdetect.com files from XP cd into C: drive.
This is the content of boot.ini of XP
Quote:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
Xp entry in my Grub Menu
Quote:
title Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
So how should i remove Win 7 Bootloader and restore Win XP Bootloader? SGD failed.
