    All you need do is get hold of an XP CD (easy), and some XP drivers for your hardware (not so easy, depends how new this particular laptop model is)

    go to the acer website and see if they have XP drivers for your notebook
    quite common now for new notebooks to only have vista drivers
    methinks it's a bill gates thing to get vista out there and him more money
