Boot to Windows XP installation media then choose the HDD you wish to install it too. Of course you are going to have more problems installing to an external drive. Unlikely you will even be able to boot to it. – Ramhound – 2016-01-10T11:14:36.993

Install WAIK (Windows automated Installation Kit). Extract the install.wim file from xp disc image/disc. Follow these steps. As WAIK ISO is big (about 1.7GB) but you just need few files from those almost 1or 2MB. Try finding them on web.
