I am not sure if you can install XP to a USB device. I know if you try to install Vista to a USB device it does not allow it.
Why not just buy a larger hard drive, partition, and dual boot it. Would be much better option IMO.

you can indeed boot from a USB key OS instal, but you need to have a BIOS that can support USB volumes natively, most new ones seem to. and there are BIOS revisions for some slightly older ones to allow them to.
