Not all motherboards can read or boot from external HDD from BIOS though. I know this as I have a number of clients who has HP computers and a number of clients who have older/no branded computers. The newer HP ones can see it from BIOS but the older/no brand computers will not see the external HDD from BIOS.
If you've formatted it as a bootable disk from Windows, then yes, the computer 'should' boot from it, PROVIDED the motherboard supports external hard drive boot. Just check the motherboard settings as well and if you can, try updating the BIOS to see if that also helps.
Hope that helps.
