put in same partition?can xp and 7 access each other's files?

First You can not Install Two Windows (With Dual Boot) in one partition

You can access different content of another acc using Admin Account

Why Don't you use XP Mode

I thought the 2 oses use 2 types of ntfs so xp cannot access 7 but 7 can access xp?(like xp pro and xp pro 64 bits).And i dont use xp mode because how to activate it?the key cannot be used and my key neither.

@ zapper067 - If you partition your "C" drive you can dual boot XP & W7 on just the "C" drive only, I used to do it myself until I finally ditched XP for good!
But as UVAIS has said, you cannot put the two operating systems in ONE partition....... you must partition/split your "C" drive into TWO partitions to achieve dual boot.
Once you have done this the boot screen will then ask you [at boot up] which OS you want to use but you can then configure the boot screen to start up either XP or W7 as a "first preference" OS.

reason i did this so when one os spoils,the other one can access the files.And how to load ntldr and bootmgr same time?

Are you able to see image like this @ Booting

@ UVAIS - That's the very same boot screen I used to get UVAIS, but it can be configured to choose XP or W7 as the primary OS. I had both OS's on the "C" drive and chose W7 as the primary OS. There is no need to put XP on the "D" drive ..... XP and W7 on the "C" drive is the way to go.
Alternatively, use "XP mode" in W7.

Hi,

As other posters have stated, yes, you can run Microsoft Windows XP and Microsoft Windows 7 in a dual boot configuration so long as each operating system is installed in a separate partition. To learn more about how to configure this environment, please see this link: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/edge/Video/ff710733.

You should be able to share the essential document files between both systems. Some system files, for security purposes, will not be accessible Windows XP and vice versa for Windows 7.

One could also choose to utilize Windows XP Mode and Windows Virtual PC should he or she desire. Windows XP Mode was designed to simplify the transition process from Microsoft Windows XP to Microsoft Windows 7 by offering a virtualized environment for applications that will only work within a legacy operating system. To learn more about Windows XP Mode and Windows Virtual PC, see this link: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/get-started.aspx.
