need a tutorial pls...

[mayneu]

i wanna know how we can install windows xp from an external HDD.
because more and more people are buying laptop now a days... and the floppy drives are becoming the things of the past....
i got the information on how to install windows /boot from USB to install windows... but for those who have bought external HDD and want to install windows from it, how do they do it???
step by step guide would be more appreciable pls....
i prefer external HDD because now a days they r becoming very cheap and the craving for more storage is also growing.... so most of the people would go for external HDD than USB...
so i request anyone who has done the research in this and successfully installed windows from the external HDD pls posta step by step guide on how to do it.... thanks in advance.....
