you cant install windows in a external drive that way

Windows Setup will not permit you to install to media other than an IDE or SATA connected hard drive, regardless of what drivers you have. Therefore, it is not possible to install and boot a full Windows 7 environment from an SD card. is far as i know

The add-in card is probably not bootable, many lower end cards are not.
You need to check the specs and see for sure if it is.
