Windows cannot boot from an USB drive. If your computer supports
booting from such device, you can load a boot loader to the USB device
which starts Windows XP from the hard drive.

what's the size of USB? 4 Gb?
IIRC, a group of people trying to develop ramdisk booting

Your M/B may support booting from a USB drive but Windows XP doesn't.
