Well, Sniper, I believe you could install XP as far as the machine is concerned but there is a very limited number of drivers and utilities available from Toshiba for XP on this machine. You can see them--12--at THIS SITE for your machine.
If you have a big enough HDD and insist on proceeding, why don't you partition your HDD and install the XP in the new partition and if you have any problems, your original Windows 7 will still be available. Type Disk Manage in the Start/Search box and click on Create and Format Hard Disk Partitions.

P.S. Jerry Lippey, please step in here if I am the least bit misleading since you are the real expert on these matters.
