How do you boot from a usb memory stick?

I would just burn it to a disk, but I'm at my dads (no cd/rw)

If you can get into the BIOS, try to look for the boot device order list. Then change the first one to USB-HDD

When you turn on the computer just tap f10 repetitively (i think it's f10, might be f9. One of those) Then select boot from: USB.

I do this at school and use my XP Portable.

From what im aware its most commonly named "Removable"

so when you load it'll load the bios then press ESC/F2/F10 or whatever it says then select removable.

Is that the terrible XP live disk you put on either a CD or USB stick, or a genuine distribution of XP?

The boot menu varies from computer to computer, on mine it is F8, on my friends and going on what Stephen said F10. I wouldn't suggest going into the BIOS because it means saving settings, which in future could mess up booting up especially from a CD (e.g. Windows) so your best choice is what Stephen said, boot menu.

@HotelUser, it's neither terrible nor genuine. It's warez
