No, this won't work.

You can't connect the USB ports directly (unless you have some sort of a 
converter / special device).

You need one of such cables:

1) 3.3V serial (FSG-3) - converter - PC, 12V, serial
2) 3.3V serial (FSG-3) - converter - PC, USB
3) USB (FSG-3) - converter - PC, 12V, serial
4) USB (FSG-3) - converter - PC, USB


I'm not sure if 4) exists.

With 3) and 4), you won't do a low-level recovery - i.e., change 
bootloader/RedBoot settings etc. - with these, you can only connect to a 
working operating system.
