Im having a problem where i am trying to dualboot windows xp and windows 7. I created a partition on the HDD. Then i boot from the windows XP disk, and it goes into windows setup and after it loads all the files, it says that windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. Can anyone help??? Thanks

Not sure what your problem might be, but why you want 2 windows systems? Have you considered using virtual machine like, win XP run in VM under windows 7? You can try to check for example VMware, their VMware player should have free version for non-commercial use I think.
