Get the XP ISO , Burn it and Install it , Choose the default drive where windows 7 is installed , it will ask for formatting partition go ahead with it and install it would overwrite it.

Things to Note:
1) there might be drivers issues as windows 7 includes drivers in it (Mostly all ).
You might need to download individual driver if available.

Also Windows Xp Official Support will end soon (april 2014) keep in mind that also.

2)I suggest you duel boot to xp or use VM for xp.

Before installing XP and wiping Win 7, make sure that you can restore the laptop to the factory settings (make the recovery DVDs).
Then you have to make sure you have all the necessary drivers in XP.
Next step: slipstreaming the SATA driver into the XP kit using nLite.
Finally, boot from the newly created CD, format the drive with Win 7 and install XP.
