Welcome sree2004vam
first of all dont use colors + big fonts !! cool
format ur pendrive completely , then copy the contents of the XP cd in to pendrive but donot make as a folder and directly copy the contents
then in BIOS setup ,, change in boot priority to "first bootable device to USB 9or0 removable device"
finished

your method is so easy i m sure it will not work,

Don't waist your time frnd,and you need a casing and a cd or dvd drive,just make external cd drive usb with that casing and change settings in bios give it boot from usb and you will be able to install your window now without any trouble and if you want to do it with usb then i will only say that i suffered a lot for that but all things were useless,now it depends on you.
mrintech gave the reply, the steps are easy
Life cycle of pen drives is very low as compared to hard drives so it is good to install XP into external HDD instead of pen drive.
