To create a bootable USB drive using the "CD F" command, you can use a tool like Rufus or Win32 Disk Imager. These tools allow you to select the ISO file of the operating system you want to install on the USB drive and then write it to the drive using the "CD F" command. This process will make the USB drive bootable and ready for installation.
CDs can hold any type of file. Image, video, audio, document, program,...
First of all you need Windows XP image file with bootable information. If you are on the Mac OS X such software as Roxio Toast 10 is very good at making CD/DVD image files (example: ISO, BIN). I suggest going to your friend and making the image file from your Windows XP installation disk. Bring this image file to your computer (USB Flash, USB HDD, Network, ...).Note: Making this kind of image might violate Windows XP EULA. Even if it would not do any damage to the product, it might be illegal. You should read Windows EULA, license and know your country's anti-piracy laws.Turn off virtual machine where you are going to install Windows XP. Look at the settings of the virtual machine. Find there all CD/DVD drives are and there is going to be options like binding to the read device or loading from the image. Select from the image and input full path to Windows XP image file. Now when you start this virtual machine it is going to identify CD/DVD disk and boot your Windows XP image file as CD/DVD.
