The computer has a ***USB 1.1 port***. USB 2.0 is backward compatible with USB 1.1so most USB flash drives will work.
All you need is an ***XP iso*** file to make a bootable Windows XP installer which Rufus will do.
Study how Rufus works and away you go.
Make sure that you download all needed drivers to the USB drive after running the Rufus. Amazingly DELL still has drivers on its web site. Bless their hearts!

For your hard drive you could also use IDE to SATA or mSATA drive converter but your IDE to SD sounds good. I would experiment to see which is fastest. You could also use the CD drive bay - I'm assuming you don't have a CD/DVD drive which you could just use with the XP Pro install disk.

''As an aside, for interest sake, I have a DELL Inspiron 6000 running Windows 10 using a IDE to mSATA converter. These mSATA drives are using on POS and gaming systems. They look like WiFi cards.''
