I had tried to install and boot from a USB pen drive on my HP dv9000 series 
laptop and it worked
basically set the boot priority to boot from USB / external HDD before the 
internal HDD next
install as you would usually do on to the external drive
when the drive is connected, it would boot from it else it would boot from the 
internal drive
just be careful with installing the bootloader
