hey guys, i know you can dual boot xp with vista, but i am wondering if i bought an external harddrive, could install xp on that? so...vista would be installed on my computer harddrives, and xp would be installed on the external harddrives. is this possible?

No, you can only install XP on IDE, SATA or SCSI drives. USB will not work.
