go into your bios set up
Scroll through the options until you reach the USB section and make sure that all options are enabled.
your should try a system restore before installing Xp hitting f8 on startup takes afew pratices to get this to work but f8 should get you to a recovery screen
or do an xp repair
you can make a boot disk @http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310994
once you get your cd drive going

You can't boot from a USB Drive, sorry. You need to use a drive that's connected with a 'proper' connector.
