How can I get windows XP to recognize a USB drive or a CD during installation?

Recently my floppy drive died. The only thing I use the floppy for is installing the ATA133 drivers (so windows can see the hard drive) if I have to reinstall windows.

The Windows XP Pro disk that I own is the original release and does not have any of the service packs on it; so during the install the only option that I see is to insert a floppy disk. Is there a way to get the installation to recognize a Flash Drive or a CD?

I’m wondering if anybody could help me with this query, I’d be very grateful. Thanks

In the past, I have seen Computers with Windows XP that have two partition. Some People like to have two partition, and others like to have one partition. I myself like to have one big C: Drive. So therefore one partition is ok with me! But why do some People like to have have two partitions in a 32 bit Windows XP?
I myself use the professional edition.

I am using a Microsoft Lifecam vx3000 Webcam im borrowing from my sister. I have to have a webcam and i refuse to buy one or take this one back. I have windows 2000 on the Laptop im using and the webcam apparently requires XP or higher. I can’t find any shape/form of a driver for Windows 2000 for this webcam. Whatever happened to backwards compatibility? Is there not some generic webcam driver or unorthodox workaround out there to allow the webcam to perform the basic function? Some way? PLEASE!!!! lol This is 2007, there has GOT to be a way to make it work with some sort of a fake driver or something….
