    Normally programs or operating systems can not run off an external harddrive through USB. Sorry

    im no expert but when you install it, if asked for the drive to install to, specify the external drive and then when booting you have to boot from that drive which has to be changed in the bios

    what i might suggest doing is sacrificing a OS for windows 7. its really worth it. also, i would use that external HD to backup whatever in case you want to change back if you dont like it.
