Dual Booting

I am working on my father's pc. He currently has windows 7 pro 64-bit. He loves games..all kinds of them and of course has the issue of getting the old ones to work on windows 7. Some of them work in virtual XP..some of them dont. I want to eliminate that problem altogether and just install a dual boot with XP. My problem is with the partitions. He currently has System, OS and Recovery. I tried shrinking the C and adding a new partition for the XP but of course it wont let me create a 4th primary. (and rather then telling me reasons I shouldn't, etc...) can someone please tell me the workaround for this? I simply want a dual boot of windows XP and 7.

Thanks :)

OK so I used that program to make the area I shrunk a primary partition. I then rebooted and installed XP onto it. That part went fine. I used EasyBCD to add windows 7 to the boot list. When I tried rebooting and choosing windows 7, it starts to load the logo and then reboots. I am stuck in that loop. XP will boot up fine, 7 will not. If I go into XP and look in msconfig, this is what my boot.ini looks like.


Doesn't look right does it? Please help!

If I open EasyBCD in XP, this is what it shows. Now mind you, windows 7 was on the C drive as it was the only operating system of course. Now XP is C: and 7 is on H:

Oh man I have this all screwed up. I tried removing the entries and starting over but this is so confusing. Is it possible at this point to just delete my XP installation and go back to just windows 7?

So of course upon rebooting it cant find a valid OS listed so I stuck in a windows 7 disk.. trying to let it do repairs but so far afterwards it keeps going back to that boot loop.
