Sounds like you have it well in hand. You might investigate VMWare and Virtualbox to see if you can run the external HD as a VM as is. I have not been able to do it via VMWare (yet) but you can try it with Virtualbox. If it works, buy a cheap USB pen drive and put it on there, then (as a backup / emergency measure) you can go to any laptop / desktop and plug in the pen drive and the USB drive and be up and running without too much trouble.
