I have two XP computers (A and B) with no CD. I'd like to convert B to Ubuntu (no XP partition) via a USB that I can write from A. But I don't want to install Ubuntu on A. Is this possible? I would also like not to go on-line with B until it is safely Ubuntized, as it's been hacked and probably dangerous.

You can use rufus USB installer. (https://rufus.akeo.ie/)

This of course depends totally what System you want to install. For Ubuntu find it on http://ubuntu.com/, lubuntu would be on http://lubuntu.net, xubuntu on http://xubuntu.net, .....
Never had problems with Rufus so far .. make Shure you start Rufus with the USB already connected There is a known issue with some USB sticks refer here: https://github.com/pbatard/rufus/issues/134
