Yaron,
If you don't have IDE, SATA, SCSI controller, then this will be difficult to
boot XP or for that mater XPE from USB device, very difficult.
You can find my posting on this subject, but basically I gave up on normal
XPE boot from USB, to many unwanted features for me, and to many registry
hacking to make it work.
But you can do easily RAM disk boot from USB device( it can be removable of
fixed it is irrelevant). But you must still be able to run FBA on targeted
device.
There are some programs that can be used like TA.exe, and some utilities for
pci development that will give you hardware list.
What can I say to you,
Good luck,
Slobodan
