Installing XP pro on a removable device?

Question

I don't want links to guides.

I need to know the simplest method to install windows XP onto a removalble hard drive. I followed a couple guides and it is very complicating, and always ends up in error. I have a 320 GB remobable hard drive and my computer is able to boot from usb devices.

I have used bart PE and created a partition especially for windows.

Please help

I need to be able to take this removable hard drive around and have windows xp at my disposal

Answer 1

There's one problem unless it is a standard windows xp that you can get at places like Wal-Mart, You can't transfer it from PC to PC. For example if I were to take my hard drive out of my PC and install it in another it would think it was a blank hard drive and start to reformat it.
