If you want to run Windows XP, consider using Windows 7 XP mode. Otherwise, be prepared to have to settle for partial functionality - it's not likely you'll find fully functional drivers for all the hardware in the system

You would be better off upgrading to 7 Pro or Ultimate, and running XP mode. You may be able to get XP to run, partially - but you will face a challenge and still likely wind up with features that do not work.
