Well if it's for me, i'd definitely go with linux, but this is for another person that not quite computer literate, so XP would be the best choice...
I'll try your suggestion by using an IDE optical drive first (oh man, i don't want to open up my cases again, it's so messy
).
Note : anyway i'll go to other city for 3~5 days where there's hard to find internet connection so maybe i'll ask again after i'm back... Thanks for the answers...
