Installing windows xp

Hi i am currentley running windows 7, i created a new parition, ntsf format and when i put my xp disk in it loads up the starting files form the disk (setup) and at the end i just get the blue screen error.

How can i get around this, i tried it threee times and every time it has happened.

It is not the disk i have used it on my computer and it worked fine.

What error do you get in the BSOD?
Are you trying to boot from the XP disk or running setup from winthin Windows 7?

Im trying to set it up from a boot inserting the disk,
The error message im getting is,

0x0000007b

Well i dont get to the section where i want to install xp on the parition.

I just loads the disk from the boot, i see it loading the files such as kernal debugger and all of the files it then says setting up or loading windows xp i forgot exacly which on it was but then thats it, it goes to the blue screen.

Well i got my laptop less than a month ago and want to put windows xp pro on there so my drivers are pretty much up to date.

Also i dont think my disk could be corrupted becuase i only used it less than two months back on my computer and i dont really see hwo it can be corrupted.

Not sure what i could do now, is there anyway of installing it through windows 7 and just selecting the parition i want to install it to from there?
