Get EasyBCD and try to find the bootloader(NTLDR) of Xp in C:\ and use Easybcd to make it to your win 7 bootloader .Make the Entry of Xp using the Manage bootlaoder Tab.

Well if the bootloader is in C:\ then EasyBCD will find it just after you select the drive path in the program . But if it is damaged then you need to recover it using fdisk /mbr in recovery console .You can see the screenshots here
