Yes, you can install another for the install. Keep in mind that XP may not like the stick that's in there now. That is the usual problem with a fresh install.

Try removing all the pci devices except the graphics card and do the install then replace them one at a time.

Only thing I can suggest is try another memory stick or possibly another cd drive.
