how do I install windows xp on a 2TB external drive osx 10.6.8?

How do I -OR- CAN I

Install Windows XP on a 2TB external drive OSX 10.6.8?

I WILL get another 2TB to back up to 1st!

Should I start over with the New 2TB Drive and put the XP & OSX partitions on it 1st?

BTW... Anyone have an idea where I should send a WindowsXP drive that has the click of death syndrome to get the data off it?

Thanx Y'All

Microsoft doesn't allow users to install Windows on an external drive, so you can't do it. Instead, install Windows in the internal hard drive through Boot Camp.

Respecting to your second problem, there are companies that recovers data from your hard drive, so you may want to contact with them
