DOS does not have USB support. Sorry

But I agree, what's he going to do with it in DOS?

The only usb device that I believe works in dos would be a usb keybaord, if your bios supports it. To install an os on a system that does not have a cd-rom, you will have to copy the windows install files (cab files, setup.exe, everthing) to the computer, then use a boot disk to access the hd and install windows.
