The subject should be Boot XP and Windows 7
The proper method to dual boot XP and Windows 7 is to install XP first.
Some on this forum say the thing to do is have two hard drives. That makes dual boot much easier. But if you wish to use just one hard drive, you must divide it into two or more partitions.
Below are links to other r places on this site

(The information needs an update.)
Come back here with your questions.

You need to tell us about the blue page and the exact error message you get. Even though you always want to install the older OS first, you should still be able to boot to the XP CD and install it, though you'll have to repair the boot loader afterward. You can follow METHOD 2 in this link: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/8057-dual-boot-installation-windows-7-xp.html

At what point do you get that error? The bsod typically means the system can't find a bootable hd. And can you still boot to W7?
Also, are you using an original, retail XP CD?
-
This happening in begining of install.
Yes, now I can boot win 7.
My win xp` cd is registerring with serial number.
-
Again, is it an original, retail XP CD or is it a copy?
And does the system seem to boot to the CD?
