Keep all drives plugged in and keep your HDD boot priority order so that the boot files of both operating systems are always on the drive tagged System as per disk management. Follow this guide and you should be fine whether installing to a partition or to a separate drive:
install-windows-xp-in-a-dual-boot-with-pre-installed-vista-t88231.html
Let us know how you go or if you have any questions.
There's just way too much info and way too many system configurations to include everything in a help file, hence the forum.
