You don't say what operating systems HP supports and supplies drivers for on your exact HP model number.
Look that up:

Hello Everyone,
I am facing a problem from past two days.I have an old hp notebook wih windows 7 pro. so 2 days ago I decided to install windows xp pro service pack 3 along with windows 7 pro.When I made a bootable usb using easy2boot,I booted into windows xp setup and I successfully installed it but I am unable to boot into any of the os.Whenever I switch my laptop on a loading screen of windows xp is displayed.As soon as the loading is finished a blue screen pops up for a second and My laptop reboots.So pls suggest me a solution to boot back into windows 7.I even tried to disable sata support but there was no such option in bios.
Thank you

All you need to is get a make a partiton of your hardrive in Windows XP just look it up on YouTube on how to do that. Then get Windows 10 on a USB and install it on the extra partion you made with Windows XP. Then when you boot up with Windows 10 after installing it will give you 3 OS to boot into:
Windows 10
Windows 7
Windows Vista/XP or earlier versions.
Just click Windows 7 and that is it you are back in Windows 7. now all you have to do is remember when you boot your PC up just select Windows 7. Or you can just delete the partion that you installed XP on and then delete the partion you installed Windows 10 on and then you can use Windows 7 as normal. It is suggested that you use Windows 10 so after you have done that you can update to Windows 10 if you want!

I know what to do. Since you have a USB, plug it in and download 2 things: A Windows 7 Pro ISO, and Rufus. Once you did that, use Rufus to burn the ISO to the USB. MAKE SURE THAT THE PARTITION SCHEME IS NOT GPT, OTHERWISE THIS WILL ONLY WORK FOR UEFI BASED COMPUTERS, AND YOU DON'T WANT THAT. This part will take a while, trust me. Once you've done that, go into the BIOS and make the USB first on the boot order. Once you've done that, save your settings and reboot. From there it should take you to the Windows 7 setup. Follow all the prompts, and continue with the installation. If it tells you to reboot, just reboot. You will also need a product key. This will likely be on the bottom of the computer. If there is no product key, just check the internet. From there, get in, and enjoy Windows 7! You can also do this with any other version of Windows if you want to do any other version of Windows.
