  Try this
  when you cannot boot to Windows XP after installing Windows 7
  
  1. Open an command prompt.
  
  2. Type the following to create a boot loader for Windows XP.
  bcdedit /create {ntldr} /d "Windows XP"
  
  3. Type the following to set the device to where Windows XP is installed. I used D: in this example. Replace it with the drive letter of your XP installation.
  bcdedit /set {ntldr} device partition=D:
  
  4. Type the following to set the path.
  bcdedit /set {ntldr} path \ntldr
  
  5. Type the following to add this boot loader to the boot up screen.
  bcdedit /displayorder {ntldr} /addlast
  
  6. Reboot the computer.
  
  
  I hope this will help you ?

  Hi mahesh, Thankyou
  
  I did above mentioned steps
  
  Now i am getting o.s selection menu at startup but when i select windows xp sp3 i am not able to log in and it gives error .I am able to log in in windows 7.I think there is some problem in path for sp3 i.e /ntldr because there is no such file in my sp3 drive.
  
  I used easybcd software and it is giving information about boot manager as below.

  if any of your friend has same motherboard as you then from his C drive copy the file ntldr and paste it in your drive where xp sp3 is installed.

  hi yadavundertaker,
  
  I am having msi-k9n2gmfih MB but as none of my friend has same MB so i took copy of ntldr from my friend having intel MB after pasting that file in my sp3 drive i tried to reboot so when i tried to login sp3 it restarts pc and before i pasted that ntldr file it used to give error regarding ntldr.
  
  Is there any other way to solve this problem ?
