Hi all,

I would to know if I can install Linux on an external 320 gigabyte hard drive..I have Windows XP on my internal hard drive which is 80 GB , but this installation on 320 external HDD is for testing purpose


If it is possible to install Linux on the external drive, will it cause any problems to the internal drive( windows xp and my data)?..

Note:The external drive will be for the Linux system only.

Also can anyone outline the steps from a beginner presepective as i am new to BIOS and other hardware related stuffs?

any help on this will be appreciated

Thanks,
sandeep
