Going from windows xp to windows 95

Hello, I have a desktop computer with windows xp installed and I would like to install windows 95 on it.    Its an older computer that I dont use anymore and I would like to put windows 95 on it to play some old games I have!   When I put the windows 95 disk in and try to run it,  it says that I cant run it in windows NT (?) and I have to run it in dos.  My computer doesnt have dos.   Is there an easy way to install windows 95 on a computer that already has windows xp installed on it?

If you backed up all your data before you installed Windows XP, or you do not have any data that you must keep, you can reformat the hard disks in the computer and reinstall Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows Millennium Edition. For more information, see the "Removing NTFS" section.

I dont really care about any info thats on the computer,  reformating the hard drive is fine.  Just not sure how to do that!  I will check out the removing NTFS section on this site and hope its pretty east to do as Im not a big computer person.  Thanks for your help!
