When you rebuilt the XP install it overwrote the necessary files used to load the Win 7 installation.
You need to rebuild those Win 7 Files by reinstalling 7.

These files where on the Root of the Master Drive and because they have been overwritten there is nothing to point to the 7 OS.

I fixed the problem. I boot from window 7 DVD then went to repair boot option that fix the window 7 problem and I boot to win 7 with out any problem, but I lost the window XP, so what I did i download easyBCD boot it recrate the window 7 and window xp boot menu list, so now both work just fine. Those who have the same problem you can try this it helps.
