Please post back a screenshot of your full Disk Management drive map with listings, using Snipping Tool ni STart Menu.

Do you remember which partition you tried to install XP upon? Normally you would just delete that partition in Disk Management, providing it is not already System Active. So let us see the Disk Mgmt screenshot, and tell us what is on each partition.

EasyBCD does not get rid of the partial XP install you have on there, just the boot listing. You still need to find and delete it from where it was installed.

Did try to install sp3 for WinXP?
or
Did you try to install Winxp with sp3 from Winxp desktop?

It was installing XP if you got the Dual Boot menu you describe.

If you installed Windows 7 afterwards you must have selected another partition for it than the XP target partition or it would have overwritten it. It was not a clean Windows 7 install if you got a windows.old folder. You needed to at least format the partition before install, if not wipe the HD first.

Do you have more than one HD? You may have gotten the error during XP install because another HD was set first to boot.

What happens if you select XP setup?

Please open Disk Management, maximize window, use Snipping Tool in Start Menu to capture the drive map and full listings, attach file using Paper clip in reply box. Your screenshot is not showing. Let us also see a screenshot of your C drive folder contents.

@theog absolutley rite man, frm desktop!!!!! (m such an ****ing idot forgot tht xp installation will format d c drive )
all was ok in boot until "STARTING WINDOWS" n tht blue screen came..!!
in dual bool XP is not the OS, its tht partial error setup!!
is there any solution to this..!! without loosing any data frm harddisk ?

@Gregrocker
So let me decribe breifly
m using Windows 7 thought of degrading to WinXp Sp3 Corporate, i just run d setup file..!! all was ok until pc restarts
then i saw a dual boot menu (Saying Xp professional SETUP), i thought its d part for win installation!!
after tht i saw "STARTING WINDOWS" command. then my pc froze. Then i had to restart my pc, i had no choice
aft then on n getting tht dual boot menu..!!!

And nop Mr.Gregrocker i think it was over wrting as Windows 7 installation don't completely formats d C drive, but later i deleted the Windoes.old folder which has d XP files

I have only 1 500gb HD mate !!

When i select tht Xp setup menu frm boot, its show error n some BCD memory code or instruction
and it says The installation file is missing or corrupted plz reinstall the software

And m new to this site i may go wrong
for tht i'd provided d mediafire link, which has d snap
