Yes. Very much so. As long as you have the correct drivers for your laptop to install after formatting and installing Windows XP.

Thank you for your quick reply mjkovis.
I have originall CD that comes with the laptop. (It is Recovery and Applications/Drivers Satellite L300 Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit SP1) I assume this is all I need right? |

No, you are going to have to go to the Toshiba site and see if they offer XP drivers for that model laptop. Your recovery media will only reinstall Vista.

The site to find drivers for Toshiba products is listed below. Simply click on "Downloads" and enter the information for your laptop. There are drivers for WinXP.
