I have a single Partition & i used hptool to format in NTFS.

I removed all other internal & ext drives & sticks.

what is the cause do i make any mistake?

any solution?

Thanks in advance..

Wait a minute.

You want to:

1. install XP ON a USB Hard Disk Drive (meaning that you want later to boot and run XP FROM the USB hard disk drive)
   OR
   
2. install XP FROM a USB Hard Disk Drive (meaning that you want later to boot and run FROM an internal hard disk drive)
   

Please choose one of the above.
