it might be your windows 7 installer not recognized the dvd/cd rom.

yes, it means you can't use this CD/DVD to install it

Caper is correct, there is no valid upgrade path for Win 7 from XP. You will need to do a custom install which is basically a clean install requiring you to wipe out your old windows and replace it with a new one. You will definitely need to back-up all of your files or else you lose them. If you are currently running Win XP and wants to switch to win 7, then run a clean install to ensure that no other problems are run into.

Thanks For ur Help :)
