install U. from external hard drive to removable hard drive on IMB t23
I want to install Ubuntu on the removable, ntfs formatted, empty 30g hard drive that fits into the cd slot on the side of the IBM T23 laptop. I want the primary hard drive on the T23 to remain an xp drive. To use my Ubuntu cd files without the cd (cd drive removed to hold the repaceable hard drive) I copied the cd's file to a 10 g external usb hard drive. Can you offer some help on getting Ubuntu installed on the removable hard drive. I'm not sure how to fire up the Ubuntu files to install. I don't want to goof up the xp drive as I just finished reformating and install xp? (a borin chore). Is there a place on the internet to do the install straight to the removable hard drive??
I guess I am asking what is the best way to get a bootable system on removable hard drive and how do I get the program started. I think I'll be ok from there.
Thanks for your help. You all have been super with your help and I sure like Ubuntu but I'll never be able to do much code, but the program is sure comfortable to use.
