Create xp sytem on usb hard drive

Thread needs solution

Hello, I have recently purchased HP Pavilion dm4, win 7, which supports boot from usb devise. I had no trouble creating rescue disk on usb flashdrive. I am running True Image 2014. I have several win xp system images of my prior Dell machine created with TI 2009. What I would like to do is restore an xp image to a usb hard drive to have a secondary os that I can boot to. I like xp and would like to use it well past Microsoft's drop date, but would prefer not create an xp partition on the laptop.
IS THIS WORKABLE? If it is not I would also like to know if there are any problems adding another partition to my laptop hd and restoring aforementioned xp image for dual boot capability.
