because I like how xp formats the partition do not like how vista/win7 does it I have only formatted with xp nothing else so it should not o that I know how to do a clean installation but never ran into this problem before.

I have read an checked out the link you suggested and I di it just like that but when you format with the win 7 dvd I it with the xp cd

Just use the Windows 7 install process, and format from within Windows 7. Don't use your XP disc.

Ok I think I know what the problem is. I have run boot manager and it seems that my boot manager lives is in Drive F: so it can no boot. But even if I format my win7 installation I will keep getting the same problem. I will try to delete and format the F: partition and see what it does.

I have also found this on another site for people who have the same problem.
