How to start windows from another partition?

Question

Windows

Good afternoon.
I installed Windows 7 on a blank disk, partitioned it into two partitions, and installed WinXP on the second one. Now when you start your computer, XP starts by default.
How do I make it possible to select an axis at startup, or at least just start 7?

For Windows XP - select "Properties" from the computer (RMB on the icon). On the "Advanced" tab, click on "Startup and Recovery" and there "Options". This window will open:
And change the settings. If it does not help, then write, I will give another option.
PS response to comment:
1. Insert the Windows operating system CD and restart the computer.
2. When you restart your computer, you will see the message "Press any key to boot from the CD". Press any key on your keyboard, such as the ENTER key or the SPACEBAR.
3. Wait, then press the "R" key on your keyboard to enter the recovery console.
4. Select the operating system to be fixed and then enter the administrator password.
5. In the line of the recovery console, enter the following command:
expand d:\i386\ntoskrnl.ex_ c:\windows\system32
6. On the message "You will be asked whether you wish to overwrite the File", select the type "Y" and click "ENTER" key.
7. When the file is overwritten, the system returns to the command line. Type "exit" and press the "enter" key. If the files are replaced successfully, the computer will restart normally.
