Check if the "Boot sequence" (or similarly name) option in your BIOS
lets you specify a USB boot device.

Hi Msh

Not too sure what you mean by the above. But then if your intention is
install xp from a usb thumb drive, you could download usb mutli boot from the
following http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=119049 and copy the
the files from win xp CD to the thumb drive using the above utility and next
set usb as first bootable device and install xp from there. Btw the above
allow you to intergrate drivers onto the installation

Regards

For what operating system? Remember, Windows is specifically designed
so it cannot be installed on a USB external drive.
