You can just use the USB. Download and extract the SATA RAID/AHCI driver zip file into the USB.

Then boot the PC with winxp disk, press <F6> as soon as you see the message "Press F6 if you need to install a 3rd party SCSI or RAID driver." Then plug the USB into the back panel USB port, browse to the location of the USB driver, then follow the on-screen instructions to install the SATA driver and winXP.
