    Just use a Windows bootable disc and then choose a different partition to install Windows XP. Like for eg you have Windows 7 in C Drive then when you boot from Windows XP Disc select a different partition which is empty like D or any other which you want. Remember Windows will format the partition. Once loaded windows will give a message on the boot time to choose your operating system.

    First of all assign one drive letter to the System Partition. Then run Disk Management provided in windows 7. After that right click the drive tagged (System). The letter which is allocated to a drive will not be present there. So here assign a drives letter so that you can see the partition. Then select and change the Drive Letter. Also check the Paths. This will allocate a drive letter by clicking Add. Now here you can assign a letter to the drive. In this way you can create partition in Windows XP.
