She plans to build a bootable USB using a tool from Microsoft, then create a raw 16GB image with tools like DD and compress it with 7-Zip. She’ll upload the compressed file to Google Drive and have her friend download it. She’ll use Rufus to write the raw image onto the XP drive. Given the hardware—Intel D865GLC, Pentium 4, 2GB RAM, 80GB HDD, USB 2.0—the setup should work if the process is followed correctly. UEFI and Secure Boot may require additional configuration, but it’s doable. The 20Mbit internet connection isn’t a major issue for downloading files. This approach seems reasonable for her situation. Would writing an 8GB image on a 16GB drive produce bootable media?

You might prefer a different program. Refer to the guide at https://neosmart.net/wiki/bootable-windows-usb/ for options. Using a machine with a DVD drive or a temporary connection via USB or SATA would simplify the process.
