Dual Boot Problem

I have windows XP installed on c: drive and windows 7 on e: drive. Everything was working fine but today when I restarted my computer the entry for windows 7 on boot menu has disappeared. Now I cannot log into windows 7 as there is no entry in boot menu for win 7, but I can log into windows xp. Please help.

Boot.ini file in drive c: has following statements:
;
;Warning: Boot.ini is used on Windows XP and earlier operating systems.
;Warning: Use BCDEDIT.exe to modify Windows Vista boot options.
;
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /NOEXECUTE=OPTIN /FASTDETECT
c:\CMDCONS\BOOTSECT.DAT="Microsoft Windows Recovery Console" /CMDCONS



The recovery Console is installed for Windows xp. TY.

Thanks Neuron I Used EasyBCD to add Windows 7 to the bootlist but still there was no entry for windows 7. I tried that a lot but still there was no entry for Win 7. Later I used Windows 7 disk again to repair the boot menu and the problem was solved. ty.

What about this Random Question thing? Every time I TRY TO POST SOMETHING (though this is my 3rd or 4th post since i joined this forum in 2004 :) I HAVE TO SEARCH THE F**KING ANSWER LOL.
