I can guarantee you if it works in Vista, there are drivers for XP. Outside of DX10 video cards(which still work fine with XP and DX9) Vista hasn't been out long enough for the manufactures to start pumping out Vista only hardware.
Drivers may not be on the XP disk but you can find them on the manufactures website, the real manufacture not the company that built the computer.
You need to know exactly what you have and download the drivers before you format and install XP. XP isn't going to have default drivers on disk for newer hardware.
