This was tested under Bartpe environment and it should work with all other PE environment too.
1.Boot into PE and create a primary partition and format it with FAT32/NTFS
2.Go to X drive (x is where xp installation files are stored, here is D drive for example)
3.Run D:\i386\winnt32.exe /syspart:C: /tempdrive:C: /makelocalsource. Replace C: with the drive you want to install Windows to.
Proceed
with the installation. When asked to convert the installation volume to
NTFS, answer No. The setup program incorrectly believes that your USB
drive (which is formatted as FAT) needs conversion.
The
setup program will then silently close, which might make you think that
something went wrong. Don’t worry though. Reboot your system, remove
the USB drive(s) and – if all went well – you can now finish setting up
Windows XP
Here we can create unattended installation file to automate entire process
