So Ive been up all night an dIve come to the cnclusion my hdd wont work so I've been researching on how to boot from a usb exernall hdd without a floppy disk (because I dont have one)

I have checked out all the tutorials and guides, but apparently I'm too stupid to get it. lol
I tried like 20 different things.

-making a virtual floppy disk drive image then trying to put the image on my usb hdd

-d/l Free DOS and trying to make a bootable flash drive

i must not understand a step b/c I have no clue wat to do.

Im tryin to do this but i dont know wat they're talkin about
You can boot through USB..

"Download FreeDOS and make a bootable DOS USB Key. Copy Win XP installer on this."

Sounds simple lol
Can anyone help me with these instructions ?
