you need a card reader, not sure if that works
format your sd card with fat32 or ext3, download GRUB or GRUB for DOS, install GRUB on the card, than make your PC boot from USB whit the card reader, if you have XP install but can not boot, GRUB can find that partition and boot with the XP with this:

Code:

   title Load ntldr
   root (hd0,0)
   chainloader (hd0,0)/ntldr

change the (hd0,0) to (hd1,0), because your sdcard reader will be the first partition

or you can find some bootable image on internet something like WinPE and boot with GRUB for DOS
