Also "Google" it by typing Boot XP from a pen drive
As you'll see, there are hundreds of such tutorials on the web.

Thanks. I think I will try to multiboot with XP instead. When I put the XP install disc in the laptop, and it starts loading files, it eventually shows me a blue screen, with STOP code 0x0000007B.
Can I put another hard drive in the laptop, install XP on it, and then put that same HDD in an external enclosure, and boot up with it in the internal enclosure (with USB)?
I just wan't to run some XP programs on this laptop, they don't work on Windows 7.

Thanks for the reply. I have Windows 7 Home premium, so how do I get XP mode on that?

Windows XP Mode only works with Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate, and Enterprise.
Try the compatibility link.

I found an alternative for XP Mode that was posted early:
