Can't boot Windows 7 since XP reinstall

I've been playing around with Windows 7 RC for a while, but was still using XP as my main system. I reformat rather often, usually every 6 months to a year to keep the system nice and fresh, and I recently did so, and now no longer have the option to boot into windows 7 even though I didn't touch that partition.

No I figure (could be totally wrong) that I either have to fix the boot flags for the partitions, or somehow fix the boot loader. Just not sure how to get my boot loader back. Any help is appreciated.
