Put the xp cd in the cd-rom, reboot, enter bios, (delete on most newer pc's), set the cd-rom to first boot in the bios, F10 to save and exit, watch for "boot from cd-rom" prompt, hit a key, follow the prompts, delete your old partition and create your new partition, install XP. (You will need a 98/ME/2000 disk for the XP install to verify your previous OS, the install will ask for it, 95 is not compatable) once XP is installed reboot, go back into the bios and set hdd as first boot. If the partition is undeleteable, (it might well be and as I have not tried to put XP over a 95 install before I have no first hand knowledge), you may need to format with a 98 boot floppy before proceeding with the XP install.
Make sure you have all the XP applicable drivers for your hardware.
I seriously doubt you will get acceptable performance with your pc specs, they must be right on the borderline to run XP. Try it though, it may work ok.
Good luck
