Keep the order from old to new. You did that backwards so you need to try booting your W7 DVD and trying the prior solutions. Here's a google for you.

I don't have anything new to add to the prior answers.
If you want to multiboot and want the supported method, install XP then 7.
I strongly advise running XP today. There are some folk that want to debate it (I won't) but it's gone. Here W7 ran at the same speed as W7 and now W10. Outside of a legacy app our office supports we have no XP machines.
I screwed up the computer and this is how I did it:
1- Installed win 7 with all programs I needed
2- installed win XP on a separate partition in hopes to install other programs and "make computer faster". Installed with option to keep existing setting (both partitions were NTSF).l ater I thought that I should have chosen "format (quick)". but.. that was later...
3- computer booted in XP only and i couldn't access another separate HHD (as a file storage).no boot in Win 7.
4 - panicked and cursed for a while.
5- using BCD boot loader editor I saw "windows 7" on a list and added "windows XP" to this list.
6- I didn't pray..
7- restarted and computer and saw this - I said something like a missing/corrupted BOOT.INI file and It did not boot at all. It kept restarting endlessly.
8- I inserted either win xp or win 7 installation disk into cd drive in order to re-install them - no luck at all. I unplugged C drive, plugged a new (fresh) one, now I see "reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot drive and press a key"
9- I should have prayed in step #6
9a.- I cleared motherboard "settings"with a jumper on it (asus - 3 prong jumper) - no change in computer's behavior.
10- obviously, I need your help, guys, in order to revive my computer.
Please help.
