I have notebook with XP in which the CD drive does not work. I want to try out Ubuntu before installing it, so I created a bootable USB stick using the USB installer provided at pendrivelinux.com. I have tried using F12 to go to the boot menu, but the menu refuses to display so that I can continue.

It has nothing to do with Windows XP.
Check if you have enabled boot menu option in your bios, then restart your computer and press F12 (or other combination - it's manufacturer dependent) to get the boot menu, where you can select booting from Live USB stick.
