The issue happen when you install XP after install Vista or Windows7 first

System will automatically boot up Windows XP, even after you run Vista, XP or Win7 repair.
you won't able to select OS to boot up, cause XP has written over the bootloader.


the solution i found was,

EasyBCD (freeware)

please be sure to have .NET framework 2.0 installed 1st before running EasyBCD,
it'll enable you to recover, backup, edit or add boot entries.

this is what i done to my bootloader (just for fun, i revert it back to normal later)


for further details, refer to the documentation
