It looks as if you can now boot XP from an external drive - see

However, it would seem that you would really need to do this, looking at the anguish in some of the posts in the forum that is linked at the bottom of that page.
As far as I am aware, Vista will happily co-exist with XP on an external drive.0 -
I use Acronis Disk Director which usually gets 5-stars in reviews. It has a boot menu etc and will make your life very much easier when it comes to having multiple OS's. It's probably around £25 - you can download it from their site ( acronis.com I think)0
