Windows 7 installation issue on nc10

Hello,
I want to install Windows 7 on my small Samsung NC10 netbook. Ideally, I would like to have a dual boot with XP/7.
I followed a tutorial to install it from a USB stick (https://www.01net.com/actualites/comment-installer-windows-7-a-partir-dune-cle-usb-401863.html). The installation on a separate partition from XP works.
My problem is with the recognition of the partitions:
- XP recognizes 3 partitions: Win XP (C:), Data/Programs (D:), Win 7 (F:) (this is the correct configuration)
- 7 recognizes 2 partitions: Win 7 (C:) and Win XP (D:) !!!!
Obviously, if 7 misrecognizes the hard drive, it greatly limits the usefulness of the setup... Previously, I had an installation of Ubuntu Netbook that worked very well (the problem does not come from the disk). All partitions are NTFS.
How can I get 7 to recognize all the partitions (with the correct drive letter) without formatting?
Thank you for your help.
Configuration: Windows XP / Opera 10.63

Hello
simply, Windows recognizes the partition that actually booted as C:
So even if the booted partition is at the end of the hard drive
the letter C: is assigned by the OS that you launched
Additionally, under Seven, right-click on "Computer" and then manage to
actually see the allocations of your partitions

Hello,
when I go to disk management, the missing partition is listed but not activated. I have no options available for this partition (besides formatting it...).
A small note on drive letters: my desktop is a dual boot XP/7 and assigns the same letters on both OS.
I'm not sure what to do... Could this problem be related to the hidden recovery partition? I know that this partition can interfere with Partition Magic, for example...
Any ideas?

After tinkering with the partitions using all possible utilities, I ended up making the partition table unreadable... So I resigned myself to formatting the entire disk.
I installed Windows 7 on a blank disk and it works perfectly (all the space is recognized with new clean partitions).
I still think that these partition issues came from the recovery partition... We'll see.
Thank you for the help in any case.
