S I want to boot into, but opens the page to boot into safe mode . When I tell it to boot into safe mode the same screen re-appears, this loop continues untill I power down. I tried removing the hard drive that XP was installed to and Windows 7 booted up without a problem. I am at a loss as to new ideas to solve this problem and hope to get a few suggestions. Thank You

I think your problems are at least two fold. Firstly the number of characters that can be used in XP as file names is far less than Win7 plus you probably have a drivers issue.
Hope this helps but don't hold your breath as you need SP3 to be able to get any support from Microsoft.
Always get your drivers from the manufacturer of your Laptop, Notebook or Desktop.
If you were to log on to the manufacturer's web site, usually one is able to download if available, by model number, All available Driver downloads as required.
If the driver is not available, perhaps your manufacturer does not support the OS you are installing.
This is the best way of ensuring up to date drivers for your system and they are free of charge!
There are no XP drivers to be found with Microsoft as XP is no longer supported.
Some manufacturers may have a limited number of Drivers still listed.
I hope this helps.
