I strongly recommend you buy an external burner for this task!
XP is just not USB-Install friendly. Despite the various available methods, No one has
found a method which works for all!

I see. I was under the impression that you wanna install it to your HDD from a FD.
Anyways, As-is this is not possible, There are ways to get it done however. For example, For XP
there’s BartPE and for Win7 there’s Win7PE and other similar projects. Have a look here:

However, Customizing it to your liking with your favorite apps and stuff can be a very, very long process! So my advice is, Unless you actually got the time to waste, Just grab a copy of active boot disk from the apps section and use that! It does what you want and got a pretty solid set of tech apps to use.
Edit Forgot to mention, All the projects/boot disks mentioned above are more suitable for technical repair and not as an everyday OS. Linux Live CDs are more ideal for this purpose, There are many distro’s that can run live, Such as Linuxmint/Fuduntu/ZorinOS/Slitaz for example, And you could put em on your FD with this app:

My point is, You should choose according to your intended purpose.
Tech repair = Active Boot Disk, Just an everyday OS in a FD = Linux Live CD.
For the record, While NTFS is fully supported in Linux, The read/write speeds of NTFS-3G (NTFS driver) are incredibly slow, So you wouldn’t wanna use Linux for emergency data backups from windows partitions!
