Question:- how to create a usb o/s stick

[chili]

As above
i have an asus rog g751 running windows 10. i have a load of music on an old "creative nomad zen xtra" mp3 player. Windows 10 will not recognise the player and creative no longer support the device with upto date drivers.

So my idea is to instal windows xp onto a 32gig usb stick (will 32gig be enough?) then instal the creative drivers and software on this usb drive o/s and hopefuly get access to my music this way, all i really need to do is rip the music from the player and put it all on a usb stick.

if anyone can advise on how to create this usb i'd be grateful or if anyone has any ideas on how i can rip my music from the nomad player even better

when i plug the player into my laptop it chimes to say something has been plugged into the usb but thats as far as it goes.

thanks
