Is it possible to install Windows XP Pro. SP3, with its bootable slipstreamed CD, into an external USB2 HDD?

Hello!

Is it possible? I know it is slow due to USB2 speed, but it is only for
quick testings and don't want to mess with my internal hardwares (HDD
has an old Windows XP Pro. SP3 installation that has hard lock ups with
videos -- need to figure out if it is my softwares or hardwares) in my
current computer. Also, it doesn't help that I have disabilities (can't
even use a screwdriver).

Thank you in advance. :)
