Yes, is that plausible? A boot floppy that installs usb drivers to install windows from a usb flash drive or usb cd drive.

I found this page http://www.bootdisk.com/usb.htm and tried method 3 but just got error messages when I ran it.

i know that you can make boot floppies (or "slipstream" your windows cd) to include certain RAID, SCSI or SATA drivers so i assume this would be possible
TRY MY SUGGESTIONS AT YOUR OWN RISK
