How to install Windows XP on a laptop that has Windows 7?

I have had problems using Windows 7 with Internet Explorer, Media Player and various other niggling problems. I want to go back to Windows XP, how do I wipe my hard disk (full format).

Do you have a copy of Windows XP?

If you put that in the CDROM drive and then set the BIOS to boot from CD first it should take you through the steps for reimaging.

You could use your recovery tools of your laptop to reinstall your system,after that you could install your Windows Xp.

On the other way ,you could directly install Windows Xp on your Windows 7,then erase your data of Disk C:.
