Any way i withdrawn my attempt to install win7. But the problem is that at start up a Dual Boot menu is appearing and the deafualt item is 'Windows Setup'. So at each startup i have to select 'Earlier Versions of Windows' to get my XP.
I tried to edit boot.ini file. its all Ok there. It looks like this
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
