Ok, this is going to sound confusing, so prepare for your brains to hurt:
I slip-streamed XP to include AHCI drivers, which worked. However, I created a drive before hand (Drive D:) with a label of XP on it, and my 7 drive was c:. That all changed when I installed xp ; system volume info became (c:), XP became (E:) and 7 became (F:). Ontop of that, my MBR is corrupted with no install disc for Win 7 Starter. I can only directly boot into windows xp if I go into WinToFlashes boot menu that I used to install XP and I debugged partition 4, which starts XP. But only XP

Any thoughts and help?

Hi, fakeman, it is me again. In the other post you don't said you use dual boot, otherwise that is simple. I did try to dual boot win7/win8 and winXP/win7 using this method. It works well.

If you use other method, then you can try to use EasyBCD. http://lifehacker.com/5403070/easybcd-makes-tweaking-your-windows-bootloader-a-snap
