I have a new DELL laptop Inspiron 1545 with Windows 7 OS. Will I
have a conflict with 2 operating systems if I install XP OS on this
computer and make it a dual boot?

Win7 like WinVista should allow for a Dual Boot. So, No Conflict.

Yes you can have Win7 and XP in a dual boot situation. I did it when
Win7 was in beat and didn't have any problems. Though there's just one
thing to keep in mind, and will make things a lot easier in the long
run. Install WinXP first, then Win7. But if you're buying a new pc
that has Win 7 already installed, then go by this tutorial to dual boot
with xp and 7.

Although it says it's for Vista, the same steps will apply for Win7.
