The most common cause of that specific error is the installation media.
Where did you obtain the Windows 7 installation DVD ... did you download and burn an image, download an upgrade from Microsoft, or was it bought from a retail store ?

The only way to upgrade from XP to Win 7 is to format the Hard Drive and then install Win 7.

Clean Install Windows 7

or

Clean Install with a Upgrade Windows 7 Version
