Well I deleted my first partition that had xp on it and moved my D partition to be primary boot partition. It has my old Win 7 on it. Now i just need to figure out how to get it to boot. The win 7 DVD I have is an upgrade. To install it again I'll have to find my XP cd.

I made a lot of changes like deleting my xp drive after i updated it to win 7 and still no luck. Then using Acronis Disk Director 11 I deleted the first partition and moved the old win 7 to the front but no joy. Then I made another partition in front of my old win 7 and put in xp and then updated it to win 7. Then I ran EASYBCD and put in the old Win 7 into the boot file. It now works. In the past I would have copied all the boot sector files for my dual boot before reinstalling my win 7. So now i'm just going to be using my old win 7. Thanks so much for all the help.
