@ poster, Ludaloolo made an important there. . . it's not so cut and dry as you might think.  If I were you, here's what I'll do:

1. Go to the laptop's manufacturer's website and download all Win XP compatible drivers first on a removable drive i.e. flash drive or on a disc

2. Use belarc advisor, a PC configuration audit tool that provides you info about all the SW/HW on your system. 

3. Check online PC forums for any known HW issue for you laptop model when downgrading to XP

4. If number 3 above clears you, just do a clean install with a bootable Win XP disc and after OS installation, install your device drivers that should have downloaded from your laptop's manufacturer's site. 

Good luck and hope this helps.  Peace!
