After the Macrium Restore of the XP partition with Partition

I've managed to reproduce your problem (in a dual boot VM).

You can see right away, what's wrong. The "restored,bad" BCD
info is on the right. The good one, on the left.

It should take some bcdedit commands to fix that,
and you can do them from an Administrator Command
Prompt window in Windows 7.

As is usually the case with these, I never invent
anything myself, just copy the command from somewhere :-)

bcdedit /set {bootmgr} device partition=d:
bcdedit /set {ntldr} device partition=d:

All fixed :-)

The bottom frame, the numbers on the right are now
divisible by 2048, so they're both now aligned. In
the top picture, the WinXP partition is divisible
by 63, the Win7 one divisible by 2048. I used Macrium
to realign-on-restore, the WinXP partition. The bottom
partition table shows the results.
