What are you wanting to run off the external drive that you need to boot to?

What about providing some detail, no mind readers here!

See the system specs? XP>Celeron>128mhz The OP doesn't appear to know the diff between Megahertz and megabytes. Is there much chance they will be able to figure out how to boot into bios and check the boot order to see if USB is listed as an option? Goin' Fishin' (Some day)

If the poster means: CPU=Celeron and RAM=128MB then XP would be about useless without a RAM upgrade. Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks

OP's other post here:http://www.computing.net/answers/windows-xp/cd-drive-not-detected-on-my-lifebook/198967.html indicates the BIOS is in french which they do not understand. ( me neither). Might be helpful if all the correct information was included in a single coherent question. Goin' Fishin' (Some day)
