Sure, there are many distros that are releasing USB image or tools to

convert LiveCD/DVD iso images to Live USB versions.

I am guessing you want to *install* CentOS on a pen drive and not make

a Live USB image (from a Live CD iso file).



Take a look at this link



if you want to convert a Live CD to a Live USB image.



If you want to install the OS on the pendrive, then you can boot from

the install CD and instead of selecting the hard disk (typically

/dev/sda), you can point to the pen drive disk for example, with one

hard disk on your system, your pendrive will show up as /dev/sdb.

Make sure that the grub menu points to the correct device name i.e.

the pendrive device. Warning, do not create swap partition on a

pendrive.

The installer must have created an ext3 or ext4 file system which is

not a "native" FS for XP.

You can always reformat it.
