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.
