    Dual-boot means that you keep some space on your disk for Ubuntu installation. During installation, Ubuntu will install GRUB bootloader that will detect that you have both Linux and Windows so when you boot you have both choices.

    ok for starters you're going to have to read a rew guides to intall it onto a usb drive. your bios also needs to support usb boot.

    I managed to install it onto a external usb HDD, but you have to do a few things frist. the ubuntu forums are a fountain of knowledge

    good luck..
