Installing XP from USB Thumb drive

Having problems booting from my external DVD drive connected to my Netbook -
(it seems there's a problem booting from ANY bootable CD - not just the XP
one).
Can I copy the entire contents of the XP install CD to a thumb drive? (The
netbook will boot from a thumb drive) or is there something more I have to
do?

Thanks

Yes you can (Though if you cannot boot from cd, somethings up with your
netbook)
