    It is possible, but you need to install the older version of Windows first, and then install XP. You can try using a 3rd party bootloader instead of installing the old OS and wiping XP, but I don't recommend it, I've seen too many problems with them over the years.

    Have you considered installing Win 95 as a virtual machine? It's much easier, and Virtual PC, Virtual Box, or VMware Server are all free
