You can try Belarc Advisor:
http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html
It does a good job of providing a wealth of information about your PC,
including most if not all the information you need for identifying the
components and the drivers you will need.
You will need to identify each component that makes up your system.
Like the motherboard manufacturer (assuming it's not a custom board built
and supported only by E Machines), your Video card or onboard video chip,
Sound card/chip, Network card/chip and so forth. For each of these you will
need to go to the motherboard, video, sound, network, etc manufacture's web
site and see if a Windows XP driver is available.
Also I would make an Image backup of your PC (along with a bootable recovery
CD for use with the image backup software)with Vista installed just in case
Windows XP simply will not run despite all the effort you have put in.
As an alternative to that image backup, if you have a spare hard drive, then
remove the drive that has Vista installed on it and use the spare drive to
install XP. If it doesn't work just put the Vista drive back into the PC.
