Cannot install windows xp to my computer.
I want to install a copy of Windows XP Professional on my HP DV7. My computer originally came with the windows 7 OS, i want to dual boot these OS'. When i try to install windows xp i get a blue screen error that says something along the lines of this: "In order to prevent damage to your computer windows has closed, please check that your computer has no viruses and all hardware is working correctly and try again".
So i tried to install it through windows 7, then i got this error:
"Description:
Setup cannot continue because the version of Windows on your computer is newer than the version on the CD.
Warning: If you decide to delete the newer version of Windows that is currently installed on your computer, the files and settings cannot be recovered.

This appeared in a window that was titled, "Windows compatibility".
I already have my drive partitioned, so i wouldnt have to delete windows 7.
I tried to continue though, but there was no way to continue.
Anyone have an idea of what i need to do?
