Need information on Ubuntu on portable disk

[slo_HB]

HI

I'm new about Linux (want to try something new). I use XP (Hate Vista). I saw on youtube few clips what UBUNTU LINUX XGL BERYL can do and I decided to try Linux.

Since I have Portable disc (80GB - Prestigio, 3 years old) and I dont want to waste time with formatting my computer (yet!), I was wondering if I could install Ubuntu, or any other OS, on my Portable disc!
Now i have installed MojoPac on that disc. It nice. But since i want to try Ubuntu I need to know if it is possible to do what i want!

Information about My comp (i think it is neede) - My Computer is 3 years old, decent (3GB RAM, 2,2GHz DualCore Intel, ATI 512 , 4 harddisc (way over 1TB of capacity), etc ...), Win XP, shi***load of apps (from MS Office with addons, OpenOffice, Adobe, CAD's), not to mention games, tutorials, ... and other stuff.

Questions:
#1 - So is it possible to Install UBUNTU on my portable disc?!
#2 - If it is possible, what do I have to do to install?
#3 - Where/How to get LINUX XGL BERYL (copy paste from Youtube :P :D)?
#4 - More to come IF/When i get reply!

Thanx
