I'm guessing that unit doesn't have an optical drive in it? Buy or borrow a USB optical drive, burn an XP CD, and install from the CD. I have never been able to install XP from a thumb drive. I've tried many times and it always ended in some weird error message, or just wouldn't boot from the thumb drive in the first place. It was a total exercise in frustration for me. Booting from a CD in a USB DVD drive worked fine though.
Ok. I will try this one. I was wondering about getting an external drive..
I will keep you updated.
