Fresh install of XP Pro on a box that currently has Win7 installed

I know this is possible, because I have found the drivers for the laptop I just can't get it to work.

The laptop is an MSI CR500, running Windows 7 home premium.

I'll restart the computer, and boot off the xp cd. It will start loading drivers, but before it gets to the point where I can delete a partion I get a blue screen.

"A problem has been detected, and windows has been shutdown to prevent damage to your computer"

Any ideas?
