How can I install windows XP from a Pen Drive?

I have the setup, and the CD key in my hard disk, and there is also Windows 7. A few days ago, Windows XP stopped working (I use both, XP and 7)...

My CD drive has stopped working, and the reason why I need Windows XP is that Graphic drivers of my system won't work on 7.

I copy-pasted setup of Windows XP in a pen drive, and even the icon of the PD changed to Windows XP setup, but the Install option is locked.

When I installed Windows 7, I installed it this way only. But the same isn't happening with XP.

How can I install?

    Make sure you have an ISO File of installing XP.

    Use "Windows 7 Download Tool" to make a bootable pen drive.

    If this tool doesn't work use an image burner and burn a bootable pen drive.

    I advice you to format the hard drive to get the best since Installing a predecessor of an OS is not possible.

    Just copying the windows setup files dosen't make a pendrive bootable...

    You can make your pendrive bootable by using WIN-TO-BOOTIC software or you can search more...

    Just download and install that program and then just open it.

    Then you have to just follow the instructions..

    Lo último que compre fue un hard disk externo, siempre han sido de calidad los productos que he comprado en los sitios web pero esta compra ha pasado mis expectativos, un transporte muy rápido y un producto excelente de buena marca a un precio sin igual, seguramente la mejor compra.
