1)install windows without loosing linux boot manager?
2)having on GRUB windows xp label so i can boot when i have plug in the external drive.

If Windows overwrites the MBR, you can use the Fedora DVD, the rescue disc or first installation disc if you have the full cd set and boot into rescue mode and reinstall grub. More info is available here.
