Hi,

Your laptop comes with preinstalled windows on it,thus ill advise you to create recovery cd from recovery manager as a backup since the license of the actual windows has already been paid and is genuine.Now to install xp on it,Your laptop comes with sata hard drive.There are some steps to be performed to make the downgrade possible.Here on these links below you will get all the guided instructions:
