Desktops & All-In-Ones

I have an Acer Aspire x1300 that is running W7, upgraded from Vista.  I am trying to dual boot XP with W7.

I have partitioned a space on the HD for XP and formatted the space.  But every time I try to load XP from my XP, SP3,  installation disk I get the following message:  "Check your hard drive to make sure it is properly configured and terminated."

The letter G was assigned by the computer to the XP partition and Disk management says that the XP partition is a primary partition but I can't get XP to load.  It will load all the files and when it says "starting windows" is when I get the above message.

So, how do I get XP to load.  Thanks
