Installing windows from memory card reader?

[Ironic Namesake]

Is it possible to install windows from a memory card reader? Want to format my laptop but don't have a CD drive or USB CD drive, all I have is a memory card reader and a 1gb Sandisk card.

TIA

I installed vista through daemon tools and then deleted my xp partition in vista.

Im sure you could mount xp to a new partition install it and then once its installed whipe your old xp partition.

Had same problem with a mates laptop. Follow below guide and you can boot xp a flash drive. Not sure if same method would work with a card reader though as you have to be able to set in bios to boot from particular drive. If card reader is there then it should work. Only requires a 500meg stick.
