Its drivers that seem to be failing, not the BIOS, at least that's how it seems to me. Here is where I get:
1. Boots to usb just fine
2. I see my boot options from the UBCDwin4usb flash drive and i choose UBCD for Windows
3. It starts to search the computer for information and i get the progress bar at the bottom, it completes successfully.
4. It then starts to load windows xp like the normal screen with Windows logo as if it were normal xp load, this is where i dies on my, blue screen of death. does this on all computers i have tried, all dell optiplex.

It's a Dell with USB boot unfriendly BIOS.
Use UBUSB and use the Kicker boot option.
I got it to work with the "PE boot" option, is this the kicker option? i didn't grab the kicker .iso and add it to the UBUSB.exe utility when i made my USB stick if this is what i'm supposed to do.....

Yes, "PE-Boot (Compatibility Mode / Memory Mapped)" is usually the fastest.
There should also be a new iso image at the root of your usb drive that's named "NoUSB.iso". You can burn this iso image to cd so you can start the usb boot process on (older/buggy bios) computers that can't natively boot from usb, or do it correctly.
