Not w/ this board, but yes. It depends on the board and the USB floppy tho. I picked up a Memorex/Teac from Fry's that worked fine w/ a P5B Deluxe for F6 and Bios updates wo/ too much hassle. I could not however get it to work w/ the DFI P965-S. Also, the USB Floppy must match up w/ a PID that XP's installer will recognize. Here's a photo to explain:
