I'm assuming both the desktop and laptop are running Windows XP. It'll work just fine.

Just make sure that when you plug in the external drive, to assign it a drive letter like Z: or I: or something way down the line from C: or D: drive. This is so if you ever change the number of devices in your machine, your external drive won't be reassigned another letter.

You can learn how to assign drive letters in this article.
