It has been quite a while since I made a password recovery disc, but as i
recall, it was possible to copy the file to a different media and use it
there.
Have you tried copying the file from the USB drive to a CD and using it from
there. Note that the CD will probably have to be ISO format, not Vista's
default 'floppy emulator' format. You might also try copying it to a flash
card and see if it can be used from a flash card slot.
