Ubuntu and boot drive

[... -.-]

Can Ubuntu be installed on a external (USB) drive and be selected in the
boot process.

i.e Internal HD is C: Windows XP and the external HD is D: (USB) Ubuntu?

Thanks

does your BIOS allow booting from USB ? if so then it should not be a
problem
other possibility is to set up /boot partition on internal and all others
on usb (kernel starts and mounts usb)
