Yes You Have To Do A Complete Wipe Of The HD And A Fresh Install Of Xp

they are right you probably wont be able to find the drivers for your new hardware for old XP even spk3 might not have them and toshibas website might not have it for xp
so before you downgrade make sure you have drivers available
rip a disk with video drivers, networkcard , soundcard and dialup modem if you use that
these should be but not guareenteed to be on their website ot check with manufactuire of hardware (example if its a 3com nic and its not on toshibas website for xp goto 3coms website see if they have the drivers)
or just keep vista and be happy or linux and really see what it can do
also contact toshiba or store where ever the warranty is from and see if they will support you with a different os on the unit
(hp / compaq does not)

To find out if it can support XP, go here

Otherwise it would have be wiser to buy a computer with XP already installed.
