I wrote a utility that should do what you want. It does basically the same thing as SYS.COM in DOS, except it only works with FAT12/FAT16 for now. If you formatted it as FAT32 then I can't help.
http://www.chenmail.com/sys.exe . Just do sys d: or whatever drive.
If you don't trust me, then the source is at http://www.chenmail.com/win2ksys.cpp .
Aren't you going to be sysing it with XP versions of command.com and stuff? Not going to work when you start trying to run the programs included with the actual DOS he installed.
