As you have Windows 7 professional try:

First check for all the Win XP drivers for your hardware on the manufacturer's web site.
If your Win XP CD, does not support your Sata Controller, you will need to load drivers to uses at F6.
Load Sata Controller drivers with a floppy disk is the best way.

To Dual boot Windows 7 professional 32 bit & Windows 7 professional 64 bit, you will need to buy a licence key & DVD Disk, as you only have one licence.

one licence = one install.
two licence = two installs.
