Q: Can't install Windows via bootcamp

Hello, I was used to have Windows XP on my really old model of macbook (2008), but I had to get a new one recently (macbook pro late 2011). I've been trying to get any functional Windows on it - I tried win xp, which worked, but I couldn't get any drivers working. I wouldn't minde that weird resolution, but I need sound working (the only reason I need windows on my mcb is to work in FL Studio, which is a music composing software). So I tried win 7, but whenever I try Boot Camp Assistant, it never gives me option to install any windows - only to download latest Windows update and to remove windows. I have looked through all the tutorials I could find and no help. I have both Win XP and Win 7 installation CDs. I prefer XP for sentimental reasons (again, I only need it for one software) so if anyone has an idea where to get proper drivers for it... Or just any kind of windows working on my macbook would be appreciated.

 

MacBook Pro (13-inch, Late 2011)

2,4 GHz Intel Core i5

4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3

Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB

 

Thank you very much, I usually solve these problems myself, but Im getting desperate.

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)
