Alright, so I know that the xbox 360 USB HD DVD player will work with windows... but my question is if any one has used it to BOOT a windows installation cd/dvd on a PC, just like a regular external dvd player?

My scenario is this: I have a laptop (phoenix bios) that does not have a cd/dvd player built in. I can install vista off of a thumb drive just fine, but XP and linux have been giving me some hassle. So I was in the market for an external dvd player when some xbox HD-DVD player deals grabbed my attention.

Can anyone, preferably with a phoenix bio based laptop, tell me if they can boot a XP installation CD from the USB xbox hddvd player?
