EEE has no OS but won't let me boot from USB

Like the title says really. My EEE pc has no OS and when i turn it on i get a message saying
NTLDR is missing
Press Ctrl Alt Del to restart

Followed some guides on the net to install XP off my pen drive, but i change where the EEE is booting from to my pen drive, but i still keep getting that message

Any advice?

Cheers

If it is set to boot off USB and isn't, then you haven't made your USB stick bootable.

I use this tool

http://www.msfn.org/board/install-usb-winsetupfromusb-gui-t120444.html

has a USB formatting tool (the HP one I use) with it

read instructions carefully, and you cannot lose
