I think they for booting windows up from the usb stick the main use for them is for recovery purposes incase you os won't load

USB OS's are for running the OS from usb not installing..I have used these for fixing non booting pc's...

Hope this helps...

They are not for installation, they are live images of XP. I know that some of support adding additional drivers. I use UBCD which has got the Storage Driverpack included and supports virtuallyl all storage drivers.
