This doesn't really concern me, but I'll reply anyway. ;-)

Yes, you can install an OS on an external hard drive or even a USB flash
drive as long as your BIOS supports booting from it. Most modern systems
can boot from a storage device connected via USB, so this shouldn't be a
problem. I'm assuming your computer is relatively new because it can run
Windows Vista.
