Windows OS off an ipod to mac and run it!?!?

okay, i have a 20gb ipod. i want to erase everything on it and just make it a HDD, then plug it in and somehow install windows XP, and which point ill get my mac to run windows XP via the ipod, install steam, and play games, possible?

probably, I wouldn't expect the hard drive to last very long though.

XP isn't really made to be run off of an external drive.

I found this link though with Google: http://guides.macrumors.com/Boot_Camp_Windows_XP_On_External_Drive

Not possible. Windows will refuse to install on an external drive. There have been reports of various hacks to allow installation but I have never seen a successful install except on a bootable internal hard drive driven by a BIOS.
