Panasonic CF-45

I have a Panasonic CF-45, apparently when i was given this laptop the entire hard drive had been wiped clean. I am putting in a 30 gb hard drive and 128MB of RAM. I am wondering if it is possible to install Windows XP. If not please let me know

Here are the specs on this model
SPECIFICATIONS:
Pentium/233 MMX, 256Kb of secondary cache, 32Mb of EDO RAM, Intel 430TX chipset, 3.61Gb Toshiba UltraDMA hard disk, 20-speed Teac CD-ROM drive, 3.5in floppy drive, Yamaha OPL3-SA FM 3D sound chip, integral microphone and monaural speaker, 2Mb NeoMagic 128XD graphics, 12.1in SVGA TFT screen, two Type II PC Card slots, 4Mbits/sec infrared serial port, USB port, Windows 95. Dimensions: 297 x 231 x 48mm (W x D x H). Weight: 2.9kg.

It will run XP, but it will be slow.

Ok thank you! I actually have one more question. Right im having a problem where it keeps telling me that it cannot read the hard disk. I guess my question is how will it run with updated RAM and hard drive? Is it even worth it for me to do it.
