I didn't think it was a big deal at first- I figured I Just had to mark that partition as the active or primary or whatever it's called, but when I use the windows disk management utility, "mark partition as active" is blank. It does show up as a healthy partition though, my files are all there and it looks like they aren't corrupt or anything. I haven't tried to replace that dll mentioned in the error message yet; I thought I should seek some advice before moving any further.
Any help would be appreciated. In the bios I had to set the sata "mode" to :compatibility the other option is AHCI for the windows install to work. It appears I also need to have it set to that for win xp to boot as well.

C drive is the active partition in which you installed windows 7 and it was working fine. After XP installation is over , the only OS that is showing up is XP and yes you can still access your windows 7 drive and data but you can not bring up the OS.
We are not going to granular details but lot of things changed that made it difficult for windows XP to understand how the windows 7 is handling the booting process of your system and it will destroy the structure created by 7 and follow its own procedure. Go to command prompt by typing CMD at the run option and go to the drive letter of your optical drive. Now the boot sector for windows 7 is fixed.
Reboot and you can see that machine will boot to windows 7. Now our aim is to create a multi boot environment where windows 7 and windows XP can co exist. To achieve it you have to edit the boot sector with BCDEdit option.
