Can this be done?

I wonder if you could capture an image of a Sysprepped XP with ImageX and then write the image from a bootable UFD (USB Flash Drive). Upon first boot it will run Windows set up and install the needed drivers.

Also check this out, post install. Ninite downloads and installs the apps you select in one go, really cool:

I've done this. All I will say is go buy a USB DVD. The alternative is several hours of your life that you'll never get back. Even if you do get it working, which you might, the install method will come back to bite you in some way later on.

DADDY LIKE!! That is a neat little thing! 
Do you remember the days when a person thought to themselves "Hey, you can't turn on that computer with the case open and have the hard drive on the desktop?!? WTF! You will break something!!" At least I had a day or two like that.
