Are you able to set the computer to boot from the CD-ROM drive.
The XP CD is bootable but the system must support booting from the CD-ROM
drive or be able to be set as such in the system BIOS.
You boot from the CD and run setup from there. There is a way to do it
using boot floppies but you cannot use a 9x boot floppy for this, you would
need to download the appropriate information and create floppies from the
information.

Since this is a Windows 95 system, there may be a lot of incompatible
hardware and if its processor is less than a Pentium II-233, it is not
supported and likely won't install.
