Hello,
Have you had any error messages ? I ask because Win server setup does not support configuration of USB or firewire ports, so the installation theoretically should fail during 'select partition' to install to.
What else can you tell us ?

You cannot boot a Windows OS from USB external. It would need to be eSATA.
 
If you have enough memory, just virtualize the second OS.
