Read the documentation Apple provides. http://images.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/pdf/Boot_Camp_Beta_Setup_Guide.pdf

Running XP from an external is possible but requires modifying some of the windows installation files and is not for the faint of heart. http://guides.macrumors.com/Boot_Camp_Windows_XP_On_External_Drive and read the thread that is linked from the guide.

Read all of the above and come back here for any questions.
