I would expect it will come day to the question of can you tell the computer to boot from the external drive once windows has been installed to it? I've installed xp to drives other than the main boot drive, it re-writes the boot information on your main drive to point to the drive you have installed to and you get a menu with a choice of operating systems on it.
