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).

Yes, but it requires remastering.

Look for "BootBusExtender" as a search keyword, for the
changes needed to make it possible to boot WinXP from a
USB hard drive.

Example here.

You'll probably be a lot older, and have gray hairs, before
you get that working :-) But, it's possible.

Ha. I already have those! :-P

"Disconnect any other hard disk drives (internally) from it" ... Is this
really required? Again, I am disabled to open case and go inside my
computer. :-(

"... Hey. Could we do that again? I know we haven't met, but I don't
want to be an ant. You know? I mean, it's like we go through life with
our antennae bouncing off one another, continously on ant autopilot,
with nothing really human required of us. 'Stop.' 'Go.' 'Walk here.'
'Drive there.' All action basically for survival. All communication
simply to keep this ant colony buzzing along in an efficient, polite
manner. 'Here's your change.' 'Paper or plastic?' 'Credit or debit?"'
'You want ketchup with that' I don't want a straw. I want real human
moments. I want to see you. I want you to see me. I don't want to give
that up. I don't want to be ant, you know?" "Yeah... yeah I know. I
don't want to be an ant either. Thanks for kinda, like, josteling me
there... I've been kinda on zombie autopilot lately. I don't feel like
an ant in my head, but I guess I probably look like one..." --Waking
