I have installed a windows 7 on a netbook that runs on windows xp. I have decided to revert back to the original os which is the windows xp. Can you please help me re-install the windows xp back.

I have tried the alt+f10 but it does not load the recovery system.

Thanks in advance.

Yep, that would be my gut feeling.

Off-the-shelf PCs usually contain a recovery partition on the hard drive which is used to restore the PC back to its factory settings. Normally, you can't access this partition in the OS, but you can if you run the Windows installation process.

When you ran the Windows 7 installation you probably had two partitions, one for the OS and one for the recovery. If you deleted or formatted the recovery partition, then you've lost it, and the only way back to Windows XP is to buy a copy.
