The boot file located in the XP setup disc will not work that easily with a USB flash drive. There is a way, but you need a Win98 start up disc to help you boot off the USB drive and run manual setup from there.

other options...

1. Get a CD drive.

or

Copy all of the contents to your hdd
and run "winnt" from there.

It's not too hard to do, just requires a few small tools. here's the guide for the EEE, but it'll work for you.
EDIT:
(So long as you can boot to USB and have a USB device with enough space.)
