I think you can get 'live' USB XP versions...might save some hassle.

External DVD drive is usually what I use to do this. The only OSes I've had luck installing from USB are Linux based.

Did this on my current laptop (dvd drive is dead).

Basically you need to -

Make the usb bootable, copy files to the usb and change boot sequence so USB is the device
and you're there.
