If you are attempting to install xp black on an external, then what os is currently on the external. and if its giving you the error of "later version of windows" that could mean your not pointing the installation toward the external drive. and it is refusing to overwrite windows 7.

Can you explain what exactly you are doing?
You should be able to dual boot with w7-XP if you install it on unpartitioned space using a windows XP installation disk without a problem.

You're going to have to point it to your external. Or, a new partition on the windows 7 drive.

Run the setup at boot, this bypasses any OS checks because the installer is assuming you don't have an OS.
