You probably can't. In theory it would be possible if your computer
supports booting from a USB device, AND if it can make a USB device appear
to be a hard drive at boot time, AND if you could get Windows Setup to see
and use it ... lots of "IF" statements there.

Yes, you can, but there are some limitations. You may need to link the
boot up thru a CD ROM boot, and in some cases use a boot floppy to boot
the CD. ( unless you BIOS supports USB booting)

Here are some links to start with,
