I have found the answer.
It is due to the fact that my HDD is SATA and my XP disk is old and does not h ave the drivers for SATA. Im told i need to get the drivers from my mobo's website and add additional drivers from a floppy during the windows install screen (F6).
My new question is ... how do i delete the partition i made. I would like to make it bigger.

I guess you could check you motherboard manufacturer's website to see if they offer a XP chipset driver for it.
These tutorials will show you how to delete the new partition, then extend your C: drive back into it.
Partition or Volume - Delete
and
Partition or Volume - Extend

Good guide, shawn. Thanks a lot!
One small point I came up against that you might want to add to the tute. (This may have been mentioned somewhere in the thread).
1. I'm dual booting win 7 64-bit / xp 64-bit and I didn't realise there was a separate Net Framework for 64-bit. After I d/ld the one you linked, I realised it was 32-bit.
Other than that, it all worked fine.
Thanks again!

i have a question. i'm using windows 7 right now and i'm planning to install windows xp sp3 for the dual boot.
i was wondering what to download for the .net framework the 32-bit or 64-bit, the same goes for the easyBCD.
also, what's the difference if i installed the xp on the same drive of windows 7 or at a different drive? sorry for the many questions..i'm really new to win 7

Hello Blackmenthol, and welcome to Seven Forums.
You would download the same version that your XP is. As long as you install it on a different partition or drive than Windows 7, then it really makes no difference. :)

No problem. After you install XP, you can check to see below what it is. :)
How to determine whether a computer is running a 32-bit version or 64-bit version of the Windows operating system
Windows XP
If you have Windows XP, there are two methods to determine whether you are running a 32-bit or a 64-bit version. If one does not work, try the other.
Method 1: View System Properties in Control Panel
- Click Start, and then click Run.
- Type sysdm.cpl, and then click OK.
- Click the General tab. The operating system is displayed as follows:
- For a 64-bit version operating system: Windows XP Professional x64 Edition Version < Year> appears under System.
- For a 32-bit version operating system: Windows XP Professional Version <Year> appears under System.
- Click Start, and then click Run.
- Type winmsd.exe, and then click OK.
- When System Summary is selected in the navigation pane, locate Processor under Item in the details pane. Note the value.
- If the value that corresponds to Processor starts with x86, the computer is running a 32-bit version of Windows.
- If the value that corresponds to Processor starts with ia64 or AMD64, the computer is running a 64-bit version of Windows.
