<div>I hope this is the right forum, and could use some assistance.</div>

<div>I have a 160GB Western Digital External Hard Drive and I'd like to load Ubuntu 9.04 onto it so that I can have the latter OS with me wherever I go. Usually the hard drive is attached to my Vista Ultimate pc here at home.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Is there a tutorial out there that walks a <u>newbie</u> step by step on how this can be accomplished? I see there are tutorials out there but everone I've looked at seems to assume that the user has an extensive background in Linux, which I do not. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Also, if I were to load Ubuntu on my ext hard drive, could I access Ubuntu while still running Vista on the desktop? Would it be similar to having a vmware environment of Ubuntu running on a Windows platform?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.</div>

<div>Many thanks -<br>Kevin</div>
