It's been many years since I installed XP.
Have you backed up your data, booted from the XP disk, and attempted to continue with the installation---which would presumably offer you the chance to format the drive or delete existing partitions?
If yes, what happened?

What's the problem with Windows 7? Maybe we can help you resolve any issues.
XP is so old it will hardly install to newer hardware. Is this a PC which came with Windows 7? | | My System Specs | | |

Make sure you delete the partition that now has windows 7 on it. You will know it by it`s size. Right it down b4 you start the new install. You should be done in 45 minutes.

I would start from scratch. First using a partitioning utility boot disk like Partition Wizard or Acronis Disk Director, I would delete the the System Reserved Partition if it exists, and the Windows 7 Partition and create a single partition instead.
After that just pop in the XP Installation CD in the CD/DVD Tray and install XP on this newly created partition by following the instructions on the monitor screen as they come along. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom Built
