How to boot from an external harddrive (USB) with a laptop?

Does anyone know how to boot from an external harddrive (well really its an internal hard drive in an enclosure) thats connected by USB on a laptop? I dont think the drive is bootable so that is another issue.. the drive used to be in my desktop computer but it was not the primary drive containing the boot sector information. I took it out of my desktop and want to boot up my laptop with it (im travelling)

Anyone know what would be the easiest way to do this?
I have a Dell XPS M1530 laptop if that helps..
