Greetings Tatian, A couple of questions? - Is EHD - External hard drive? - Can you boot from this harddrive? (This would be a BIOS setting. Most modern computers can.) - What sort of computer do you have?
If you have ordered the 32bit 7.10 CDRom you can boot from the CD itself, and have a play without actually installing anything directly. This is called a 'liveCD'. - Whare do you live? Are you in Australia? (ubuntu-au is the Australian Ubuntu Team) It might be able to get some to help you who's closer to where you live, or point you to a local Linux User Group (LUG).
