How Do I Reformat A Hp Compaq 8200 Elite Convertible Minitower To Run Windows Xp

My company's policy is to allow only computers with Win XP Pro operating system to join the local area network. But the new batch of leased computers from HP are the 8200 elite convertible minitower that runs on Windows 7. The previous batch of 8000 elite computers was easily downgraded from Win 7 to Win XP Pro. But with this new 8200 Elite, it just won't boot-up from the Win XP Pro recovery disk even after doing the SATA setting in the BIOS from AHCI to IDE. DFo you have a solution to this problem? Thanks in advance.
