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.
we got an acer aspire with vista like 2 weeks ago and it didn't have video, network or wireless drivers for xp when I reverted back....I had to contact the manufacturer about the drivers and 2 of the manufacturers got them created in a week or so, but the video drivers have yet to be created for xp on this particular machine
