Dual Boot Installation with Windows 7 and XP

I have installed Windows 7 @64 Bit first and then Windows Xp following the Method two of the tutorial.
When i reboot and try to go in Windows 7 i get in with no problema but when i try to boot into the Windows XP,i see the Windows XP Logo then i see the black screen and quickly i see the Scree that has the top and the lower Dark Blue and the middle one Light Blue with the Windows XP Logo. The one with the flag. It seems to be stuck but i can still move the mouse.
Please where am i missing?
Any help will be really appreciated.

To find out if you need to reinstall or run a XP Repair Install, boot into Windows 7, install EasyBCD (click Download - no Name or Email required), on the Edit OS Menu tab delete the XP listing and then on Add OS Entry tab add it again, reboot to see if it will fully start now.

Well you know how to install EasyBCD since you did it in XP, correct? Install it to Win7 now.

Then click on the Edit Boot Menu tab, highlight the XP listing and click Delete.

Next click on the Add New Entry tab, make the choices below and reboot.

Thanks gregrock for you understanding and have posted the picture with the procedures.
Done how you said but still get the same problem.
Attached is the picture where it stops loading but how i said before it is not stuck because i can move the mouse.
What to do now?
Thanks for your efforts.

Please post back a screenshot of Disk Management - Post a Screen Capture Image from Win7

Have you considered vitualizing XP from Win7 using freeware like VMWare, Virtual Player, XP Mode provided in Ultimate, or Virtual Box? This would save a lot of problems trying to install a dead OS.

Here is the screenshot of the DiskManagement after have installed either Windows 7 and Windows XP.

Did XP boot after you installed it? It must have if you used Option Two in tutorial to add Win7 to a Dual Boot. However the System Boot files are on Win7 C now, so it is booting both OS's.

I would have installed XP to a Primary and not Logical partition. An OS can be installed to a Logical partition only if it places its boot files on another Primary partition. This works fine with Win7 but XP is not really smart enough to know how to do this capably. So it may be the source of your problem.

To make sure the XP installer deletes and formats its target partition Primary, I would first delete the XP partition in Disk Mgmt. This is a two step process for Logical: Delete Volume to make Logical Free Space, then Delete Partition to get rid of Logical. Then boot the XP installer to create and full format its partition in that space.

This time after installation, Mark C Partition Active then run Startup Repair - Run 3 Separate Times to reassert the Win7 boot loader. Install EasyBCD to Win7 to add the new XP install which works better.

At the end i got it work but after a couple of boot for testing i do ot get anymore the dual boot menu ad i cannot choose which system to boot.
Now it boots directly to Windows 7.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
