Solution To This? (A Disk Read Error) Details inside on what I am trying to do

[OnlineGaming]

Ok so last month my other laptop's hard drive died so of course with no hard drive = dead computer. I found a external drive laying around and I tried to put Windows to go on it but after reading into it more like I should have, some posts say windows to go only works on USB drives NOT external hard drives... Well I tried plugging it into the computer with no hard drive and set the external as 1st to boot and got the "Disk read error Press ctrl alt delete" which dosen't respond anyway... Is there by chance a work around for this being able to use the external?
