An external harddrive is simply a "regular" harddrive put into a converter. Remove the box from the external harddrive and exchange the regular hard drive in your computer with the previous external one.
If this works you can just put in the previous regular drive into the external hard drive converter and there you go.
This is assuming you have a desktop computer.

this is a little complicated first to solve tyhe problem you need to hit the down arrow fast enough before it tries to continue the installation so just keep clicking the down arrow while the laptop is booting. then choose the old windows usually the one on top the when you are back with your old windows go to the c drive and find the file boot.ini and open it up to edit then edit timeout=0 to timeout=30 to give you time to choose which OS you want first also the boot.ini is hidden so you have to show hidden files in order to see it. then go to this website to see how you are going to fix your mistake http://www.pcland.info/archives/248/how-to-install-windows-xp-on-a-portable-hard-disk-a-tutorial.html
