You have to have an XP cd.
Make sure you find the SATA drivers for your computer before attempting to install XP. Without the SATA drivers you can’t even begin the installation process.
The best way is to slipstream the drivers to the XP cd.

good luck
computers built for vista will have problems with xp if you can find the drivers for xp
You’ll need to have a Windows XP disk in order to do this. Downgrading will cause you to lose all your files and settings that are currently on the laptop. Before you begin this route, you’ll want to make sure that Sony has drivers for this model laptop. Sometimes Windows XP isn’t offered on a given platform and thus no drivers are developed for it.
In your case, Win XP drivers are available for download from sony.com, so you can downgrade if you so desire. If you need to buy a disk, your best bet would be to shop at http://www.newegg.com and purchase an OEM disk, cheaper than retail.
um they are all wrong you can do it without a cd im assuming if you are asking how to do it with usb you probably have an iso if not then they would be right or you can always go the free way but im not going there… well in the post anyways lol. heres a guide http://www.eeeguides.com/2007/11/installing-windows-xp-from-usb-thumb.html now anywhere it says you need a disc just download power iso and mount the iso and then to the computer you do have the disc and there you go if you need any help message me and ill do my best cause im interested myself just make sure you wipe the drive vista is a bitch if you have issues getting it to boot let me know to you probably will just have to run a couple commands vista really messes with a drive.
