Windows 7 has gone from boot.ini

Basically, my Windows 7 install has disappeared off my boot menu

I have 1 hard drive at the moment, but with 3 partitions
C: Windows XP
E: Windows 7
G: Empty

Would anybody be kind enough to help me get Windows 7 back onto my boot menu

Thanks

Got a problem

Got to the command line, asked whether i wanted to fix XP or 7, so i chose 7. Asked for my administrator password, i didn't put any passwords in when i installed Windows 7

Your admin password is your password set for your account (if your account is the only account on the system).

If you didnt set a password, just press ok with a blank password.
