Sorry, Lenovo doesn't support this model for Windows XP. As you have seen from their drivers download page, they don't even support Windows Vista. It's not a surprise though, XP came more than eleven years ago, and it has to be phased out sometime.
You can still install windows XP, the default drivers that come with the disc will work for most if not all components of your computer, but you will never acheive the peak performance capablity of your laptop as the drivers will be horribly unoptimized.
