You cannot run XP Mode inside a windows 7 that is within a virtual environment. The issue is that XP mode is running MS windows XP in an a virtual environment within windows 7. Since you're already running that OS within VMWare you cannot do so.

Your only option is to use bootcamp and boot up natively into windows 7.

Or you could just use XP Instead of Win 7, or as an additional VM. In Fusion or Parallels, you can create as many VMs as you have licenses licenses and disk space for.
 
If the OP can find an XP license on eBay (or where ever else) that is an even better solution :)
