Installing XP on a USB Drive

[gugutz]

Hello.

I tried to plug my notebook HD on a USB case and install Windows XP there.

Im currently using Windows 7 on my main HD, but i'd like to maintain XP on another drive.

When it finishes copying the files, and restarts to being install at T-39, it will give me a BSOD.

Is there any workaround for this, or will i have to open my notebook and insert the HD there, than install and remove it again?

Another question: if install is giving me a BSOD, if i do what i mentioned above (removing my main drive, inserting the XP drive and finishign install) won't it give me a BSOD too?

Thanks in advance for all your inputs.
