im using window 7 software on my pc
next i installed the windows xp software on my pc

Does WinXP work? And Win 7 not work?
Is that the problem?

I am confused, i don't think a hard drive requires RAM does it?

you don't need any requirement for a hard disk other than support for the interface (ide, sata, sata2 or sata3)

if you get a sata3 hd and you install it on a sata1 interface, it will works! but at low speed..

you can install a 2TB HD even when you got just 512mb ram.

your problem is: first you must install windows xp and then windows 7, not in other way.

I think your WinXP install over-wrote the Win7 bootloader.

You were trying for a dual boot option with Win7 / WinXP?
