Boot Windows XP from a USB hard drive on any computer?

Question

Boot disk

There is a hard drive, Grub2 and Linux are installed on it. I would like to be able to install Windows on a disk and load it on any computer. And it should not be a stripped-down version, but a fully functional one. Solutions with Win7 will work too.
What is the shortest path to my destination?

Answer 1

To laugh: once I did this:
- 4 partitions on the screw
- on the first - a working (on my computer) system
- copied the distro from sit to the second (there is also a garbage dump with all sorts of firewood, software installers, portable versions, etc. .)
- started to install from the screw in the 3rd
- when all the files were copied and reboot was loaded from the 1st partition and copied the 3rd to the 4th
The "patient" was loaded from the 3rd (if f8 and other "drugs "didn't help), waited for the end of the installation, saved what he could from the data and put him on a new Windows (the doctor said to the morgue - that means to the morgue :)) - or rather, he simply copied his screw from his.

Answer 2

In fact, the main problem of the “blue screen” during boot is the IDE controller driver.
Purely theoretically, if you leave this driver as standard, then you can boot regular XP on different computers. (I used this as a mechanism for migrating from one iron to another)
Try it, maybe it will work :)

Answer 3

windows 7 should work anyway, but for xp there were some driver patches to boot everywhere
