downgrade from Vista

A client gave me 'Acer Aspire 5720' (http://tinyurl.com/6z5t5r) laptop
today, with the express instructions that: "Get rid of that &!@%!*
Vista, and install a copy of XP please."
I laughed at the SINCERITY of his comment.
When I asked him what the problem with Vista was, he replied: "Just
about everything. Nothing works - all the applications I used to use
don't $!@$% work under Vista, and the $@%! is just a @%!^@* of a
system."
Well, the funnies aside, does anyone know if this model Acer can run
XP?
I told him that Acer are of the the few who have Vista-only BIOS's, and
as such, it might be impossible to install XP on this laptop, so before
I start, I thought I would ask if anyone here knows if you can install
XP on this laptop.
The Acer website is not very helpful...
