Well normally you get a back up disk which you can use to reinstall your original windows that came with your netbook, but sometimes its kept in a un accessable location on say your second partition. So first confirm that.
To answer your questions YES you can install windows 7 and have Xp if you install them on two separate partitions. You dont want dual operating systems on your netbook then go ahead and just install Win7 you can always downgrade later without any problems, provided you have your Xp cd :)
