    Unlike Mac OS X, Windows XP is not designed to boot from external hard drives. Thus, getting XP to boot from an external drive to be used with your Intel Mac requires some work.
    MacRumors user mrichmon reports having installed Windows XP SP2 successfully on an external USB drive using his MacBook to perform the install.
