Windows XP does not have the tools or drivers to install to modern hardware. The good news is this has been discussed before so try a little research and be sure you can recover from a wipe out before you try that again.

i am trying to perform a dualboot of xp and win7. 7 is already installed. when i boot from the disk, it starts loading the xp setup files. after that starts and before it can get to partitioning options, i get an error massage specifying an address and dislays "shutting down to prevent damage" and a few other things. Whats causing this to happen?
