partitions:
1. XP (active, boot)
2. Win7

boot menu worked fine.
cloned partition 2 to partition 3. used Easy BCD Edit to add it. Called it Win7Prod
If I choose Win7Prod from the boot menu, it boots to partition 2. How do I fix this?

Current setting: (currently booted into Win7 to pull this info)

When you boot it, check the Disk Management flags
They have the following meanings

"boot" = "this is the system you're running"
"system" = "this is where I found the boot files for the currently running system"
"active" (on the first HDD in the BIOS boot sequence) = "this is where I started the search for the boot files"
"active" (on subsequent HDDs in the BIOS boot sequence) ="this is where I will look if I don't find something in the MBR on the first HDD"

If E says "boot" then that's the one that's running.
How are you discerning the running OS.
 
I've seen occasions here in the past where different desktop wallpaper etc. was used to identify clones, with unexpected results.
Have you checked the Disk Management flags ?
