Um... Windows XP is no longer supported so my best suggestion is easy. Head to the shop and buy windows 7.

Easiest solution is not the best one.

I'm pretty sure you are using a pirate version of windows, Even though you said otherwise. (Im not even sure that windows XP disks come with SP3.)

check for scratches on the disk, if you see tons of them, probably unreadable data.

You could install a virtual machine, and run xp on that?
If you don't give more details about the errors, we can't say shit about it.

you're trying to install dual-boot...

1. Start with the oldest windows (XP-Vista-7, because installing 7 before XP, will render windows 7 unbootable)
2. Make sure you are installing them in a separate partition.
3. if you are using a laptop, make sure its plugged, the battery might run out

you should know that dual boot can screw your PC up, bad.

and srsly, why do you think this is because of a driver? and why would you think that it would work on windows XP if it doesn't work on 7?

Dual-botting cannot screw up your PC. YOU can screw it up while ATTEMPTING to dual-boot and fucking up really badly. Don't be so sock-like.
