Dual Boot Software Recomendations

HP DV7t Pavilion Laptop. My procedure was to partition a 300 gig sata hd and successfully installed Win XP Pro SP3 in c:\. On the second partition successfully installed Win 7 Pro in d:\.

At Boot Up Windows Boot Manager offers "Earlier Windows Version" and within 30 secs, if untouched, boots Win 7.

What I would like to do is change the name "Earlier Version of Windows" to "Windows XP" and have Windows XP to boot after 30 sec instead of Win 7.

Any suggestions how to do this simply.

Many thanks,

Dave...
