Follow the excellent instructions at http://www.eeeguides.com/2007/11/installing-windows-xp-from-usb-thumb.html
Remember to change the advanced settings for the hard drive in the bios from AHCI to IDE before booting from the newly made USB boot disk. If this step isn't done, the only drive that will show up in the Windows XP setup is the USB drive you booted from which is a no go.
