Perhaps there is a version on multiple CD's, is what I mean.

It might still be able to burn and read CD's, since it uses separate parts to do that -- different lens, different laser, different focus loop. If you're lucky it might just be the DVD part that's broken.
Unfortunately booting from USB isn't as simple as copying an ISO to a USB drive. The computer knows the difference between a hard drive and a CDROM and won't treat them the same way. You have to put something that supports USB booting on the USB drive.
Of course, the obvious thing to do would be to get your DVD drive fixed! Or get an external DVD drive, many systems can boot from a USB cdrom.
