hmmm...
Nice idea
AFAIK there is a live pe for xp called Bart's Preinstalled Environment (BartPE)..
U can download it and create a cd and then try to implement it on pen drive
Dunno whether it will work or not but it's worth a try

U can get BartPe created images ready to put on USB
Just Google

I Have Installed The BartPe XP On My Pen Drive.

It Has No Graphics At All Nor Its Like Windows Xp.
