I partioned my WD 250gb into two seperate ones, now what?

Hey guys I'm new to these forums so be nice

I just partitioned my 250gb to 100 and 125 one i want to use for back up which i believe i will use my Acronis for.

The other i want to use as a regular hard drive, with windows XP or Vista,

But when i load the XP cd into the computer the XP disk does not see the USB 250gb drive at all (E: and F, how will i got about loading XP onto this drive?

 

You are done.
Windows is installed on C: no?
The partitions on your removable USB drive can be used for more storage,backups.

 

ya but i want a windows partition on my e or f drive so i can use that one to move around and boot up that hard drive too, thats why i was having the problems of loading up xp on to the usb drive.

Someone was telling me how to do this last month, i just forgot how.
