Dual Boot issue Windows 7 and Win XP - plz help

[Mrblobbysdad]

Hi,

Im having an issue with dual booting Windows 7 and Window XP.

Both OS appear on the boot option menu when I start the computer, but if I start XP after being on 7 then XP hangs and wont boot up until Ive gone through a boot in safe mode, and if I boot 7 after being in XP, 7 wont start until Ive done a startup recovery mode.

The machine came with windows 7 pre-installed to C: and I created a D: partition and installed Windows XP to D.

I had to use the Windows 7 DVD startup repair to get Windows 7 as the default boot option after installing XP.
I downloaded Easy BCD 2 and ran that from Windows 7.
I added the Windows XP to the boot menu options.

View Setting in Easy BCD (detailed) shows the following info:
