I don't believe you can make a "start up disk" in XP. There is a feature called System Recovery. You can find it by clicking Start, then All Programs, then Sytem Recovery, then click on Recovery Media Creator. This creates a set of Recovery Disks.
If you chose the option to resize the hard drive to make room for Ubuntu, there will an entry for Windows XP on a boot menu when you start the computer. If you chose to use the entire disk, Windows XP was erased, and recovery is probably not possible.
Nope - to recover your Windows 7 system - you need to use the recovery partition on the hard-drive.
You can use software like Partion Magic or Windows Xp Installation CD; boot up in Recovery mode, try to repair MBR with the command fdisk /mbr after that restart the system and using the Xp disk in Recovery mode make partions for Xp.
