Installing XamppLite to a USB Hard Drive

I just recently bought a Western Digital USB External hard drive so I can develop my websites on it and take it with me to school. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times, but I keep coming up with the same problem. Every time I visit localhost in my web browser(Firefox) I get a Firefox "Unable to Connect" message. I've checked the ports with the Xampp port-checker but everything is free. I am also having trouble with the Xampp Control Panel. I try to start Apache, but the "Start" button still remains. The same thing happens when I attempt to start MySQL, even though the Control Panel says that both services have been started. I have tried using PortableApps but nothing seems to be working. I would really appreciate it if someone would walk me through the complete process of installing XamppLite for Windows to a USB hard drive.

The readme file and the XAMPP for Windows Home Page both have installation instructions already written for installing to a USB drive.
Please tell us exactly what you are doing to install XAMPP Lite on your USB drive and what OS you are using.

I think it might be a problem with vista. Every time I try to start apache or mysql, xampp crashes for a couple of seconds, comes back, but neither service is started. I got it working on a school computer that uses XP, but it's still not working with Vista.

Try starting Apache using the apache_start.bat file as it usually tells you why it can't start and also look in the apache\logs\error.log file for clues.

This is my error log. I'm guessing the listening socket error means that the port is unavailable? How do I fix this?

Something else is using the port that Apache needs.
Revert your httpd.conf file back to the defaults...
...then run Port Check in the XAMPP Control Panel or run the xampp-portcheck.exe file to see what it is that is using the port.
