    Are you formatting Win7 partition with XP? If so, delete the formatting and let Win7 DVD autoformat during Copying Files phase. XP has a slightly different partition table.

    I do not understand why your Win7 DVD will not boot. Did it boot before? What happens when you try to boot it? Are you following these steps: Boot from CD - How to Boot your Computer from a Bootable CD or DVD - Boot to CD

    Try installing using a USB flash drive: USB Windows 7 Installation Key Drive - Create
