I have a laptop with windows 7 installed on it. Somehow my internal hard disk failed and now windows wont boot anymore(it wont let me repair or install a new copy of windows). So i tried to run Linux off a USB pen drive. However after a few messages the laptop hangs with a blank screen. I was just wondering if i need a fully functional internal hard-disk to run Linux off a pendrive

No.

Ubuntu will happily run from a USB drive without any other drives present.
