After reinstalling first OS I can't boot to my second OS. What can I do?

When I bought my hard drive I created two partitions. On the first partition I installed Win 2003 server and on the second partition I installed Win xp pro. This configuration has run fine for a long time and I have always been given the alternative to choose which OS to start when the system is starting up.

Recently, however, I experienced some trouble with the Win 2003 installation so I formatted that partition and installed the same operating system again. I didn't touch the win xp partition as far as formatting and partitioning is concerned.

Now my problem is that everytime I start my computer I am no longer given the option to choose operating system. The current state is that Win 2003 server starts every single time. This of course means that I can't start win xp anymore, even though I can access the partition from inside win 2003...but there are several games that can't be run from the server os...

Do you have any idea what I can do here to get the boot options back (perhaps modifying the boot.ini...somehow)?
