Buy the software first :) then insert the disk and install. Windows 7 is not bad and if u get professional u can run XP programs
I think you will love windows 7, i thought that i wanted XP on my new computer but i was wrong. if you want to get XP, you will have to have Windows 7 Professional (for xp mode) or higher. YOU CANNOT DO THIS WITH Windows 7 Home or Starter... in my opinion stay with 7... it may look like vista but it is way better.
You can install both XP and windows 7 on your PC.

Use Virtual windows software(also known as VMware)

Enjoy both windows..
XP has the most software and hardware tested on it. I am sticking with XP for another year to give software/hardware developers time to test their stuff on Windows 7. It will take another year just to get pre Windows 7 software off the store shelves. One department store had their employees stick Windows 7 stickers on any software/hardware package. That is not how things works. There have been plenty of complaints from those immediately upgrading to windows 7. Some PC manufacturers have even offered a free XP for certain models. Windows 7 Pro, enterprise and ultimate editions have an XP mode. That way you get used to Windows 7 as XP gets phased out. Extended support for XP ends in 2014. Probably because most of the marketplace still runs XP. It is a significant capital investment for companies to bring in new computers and new operating systems. It is the politcal power of companies that is extending the life of XP. It is probably considered a national security issue in regards to a nations economy. A lot of companies have computers that do not support Windows 7. I am not talking about upgrading one or two computers. I am talking about upgrading or purchasing 1000s within the larger companies. It is not in some budgets.



Back to your question, do what the others said about just installing XP or getting one of those Win7 editions that have XP mode.
Windows 7 is really good and user friendly.it is way better than vista or -with due respect - XP.

And you will have to get the WINDOWS XP cd along with its DRIVER cd and then format your computer.

for formatting u will require Windows XP cd n once u install Windows, u can install drivers and ur done:)

now u may also put up a question bout how to format:P since too much info together = mess!! hehe :P

so all the best:D
Steps to downgrade windows 7 to xp



STEP 1. Open your Windows 7 drive (generally C drive) and make sure that you haven’t removed the Windows.old folder, which was created by Windows while installing Windows 7 on XP drive. Remember, without this folder you won’t be able to proceed further.



STEP 2. Now, check the size of Windows.old folder by right-clicking and then selecting properties. You need to make sure that Windows.old folder must be less than two times the amount of free hard drive space available on Windows 7 system drive (C drive). If the Windows.old folder size is two times larger, disable system restore utility and also use disk cleanup tool to get some free space.



STEP 3. Insert your Windows 7 installation disc into DVD-ROM and restart your system. Press any key when prompted to boot from DVD.



STEP 4. Choose your language, time, keyboard type and then click on Next button to continue.



STEP 5. In the Install Windows screen, click Repair your computer option to get System Recovery Options.



STEP 6. Now select your Windows 7 OS and note down your Windows 7 Drive letter before clicking on Next.



STEP 7. In the next window, click Command Prompt to start downgrading from Windows 7 to XP.



STEP 8. At first you need to transfer all the data of your Windows 7 drive to a folder. So type the following commands one by one and then press enter after each command (here we’re assuming that “D” is your Windows 7 drive letter).



D:



Md Win7



Move Windows Win7\Windows



Move “Program Files” “Win7\Program Files”



Move Users Win7\Users



Attrib –h –s –r ProgramData



Move ProgramData Win7\ProgramData



Rd “Documents and Settings”



STEP 9. Next, you need to copy all the contents of Windows.old folder to the drive. Again, follow all the commands given below one by one and then press enter after each command.



move /y d:\Windows.old\Windows d:\



move /y “d:\Windows.old\Program Files” d:\



move /y “d:\Windows.old\Documents and Settings” d:\



STEP 10. Next, you need to restore the boot sector by typing the following command:



E:\boot\bootsect /nt52 d:



STEP 11. At last restore the boot.ini file by entering the following commands:



Attrib –h –s –r boot.ini.saved



Copy boot.ini.saved boot.ini



STEP 12. Now type Exit and restart your system to get back to Windows XP again.
