Hello graylionz,  HERE  is the link to the Dell site for your systems. It shows that Windows XP can be installed on this system.

If you have no Dell CD\DVD, but a valid Windows XP CD with a valid product key, you should be able to install Windows XP on these systems.

You would need to locate any drivers you may need after the installation.

Hope this helps.

Hello graylionz, You may need to enter the BIOS and set the first boot device to the onboard CD\DVD drive and the second boot device to the onboard hard drive.

Save your settings and reboot with the Windows XP disk in the optical drive.

Hope this helps.
