I've got software that don't run on W7...

So, I'm trying to add multiboot W7 and XP on this box. Its already got
W7 installed. I made another disk partition. But W7 Is protecting me
from installing from within the OS. So, I just made a bootable XP
install CD. Same story. XP install disk runs a while then I get a
message from W7 about a virus and it shuts me down.

I guess my next step is to buy a new hard drive, now this is starting
to cost a few bucks. Will it work to install XP to a black hard drive,
then install W7?

Have I missed a better route?

Yah. Get another puter and load XP on it and ignore W7 for whatever you
are trying to do with the XP machine.

Puters are cheap as hell. Less than $75 on Craigslist or Ebay.

Ive run W7 once for a week. Then reformated and installed XP Pro and
have been more than satisfied with it ever since. And Ive got about 5
boxes here in the house and shop.

One could not be a successful Leftwinger without realizing that,
in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers
and mothers of Leftwingers, a goodly number of Leftwingers are
not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.
