Help to install xp
I need help immediately. I bought a new computer. It came installed with windows 7. I want to install xp. But whenever I boot from cd it shows an error. Windows encountered an error and set up needs to shut down. Check your hard disk for virus and corruption. Check if hard disk is configured properly. Uninstall any newly added hard disk. There are no viruses in my system. Kindly help me. Thanks in advance.

Re: Help to install xp
Please post your machine config to rule out any configuration problems with Windows XP.
Chances are your new hardware is optimised to work best with Windows 7.
And why do you want to run XP? Windows 7 is better than XP in almost every department. If you want to run legacy apps you may try XP mode(if you have Professional or Ultimate edition) or install XP in a virtual machine.

@johnrambo4, try copy the content of the disc to your PC to check for CRC errors. maybe the disc is corrupted.

Re: Help to install xp
First thing first: If your machine has came preinstalled with Windows 7, then it must be a Genuine licensed version. And if you are installing XP over it, it would most probably be Pirated.
Q: Now, do you REALLY want to lose a GENUINE LATEST VERSION of Windows with a DECADE OLD pirated Windows?
If answer to above question is Yes, then try SAM's method.
And if the disk is correct, try to Nuke Hard drive from s/w like, Darik's Boot And Nuke | Hard Drive Disk Wipe and Data Clearing And then try to install XP.
Disclaimer: After using DBAN, if you are unable to install XP, your computer might be unusable. Use at your own risk.

Re: Help to install xp
with all the above users comments..
@johnrambo4: thats a wise decision of using windows 7 & not hampering the OS & system...
but still if u want to use XP in safer way then use VMWare Player to emulate it or VM as told by vigneshHTC One V | Nokia 5233 | Nikon D3100 | Apple Ipod Touch 4G | Sound Magic PL21 | Sound Magic ES18

2. oracle 9i not supported by windows 7
