    Assuming the laptop has the minimum specifications:

    You could get a USB CD ROM drive and plug it into the laptop (via USB)…

    You can do it, but its a little difficult, search in the linked forum.

    The question has to be asked though, why would you want to run XP? The Linux on the acer is odd for someone who has only ever used windows before, but it has different attributes. OK you cant pretty it up with wallpaper or anything, but it loads so fast, My Linpus AA1 has a working desktop in 15 secs, and is connected to the net in 40 secs, XP can’t get anywhere near that speed.
