XP on an external drive ?

Hello ladies and gents, Mine is a simple question i think. I have looked every where but cannot find this question. I have found posts on getting xp on x hdd but can i just take the hard drive from my xp laptop , put it in an enclosure and use it with out bootcamp to dual boot my macbook ?
Thanx

A simple question requires a simple answer: No. Placing XP on an external HDD and using it to boot is not in accordance with the MS EULA and therefore can not be discussed here.

Regards.

Not sure about EULA and stuff but when you do that XP is going to be looking for hardware/drivers related to the computer it was originally installed on. Since its running on a Mac it wont find that hardware.

Thank You both for your time
