My laptop is currently not being formatted properly.

Every time I try to install any operating system it installs, but before I can move to drive, it crashed and gets back to boot screen, it doesn't even reaches the OS boot menu.

I was wondering If I could be helped to install an OS completely within a pen drive , then access my drives just by connecting my laptop to my pen drive.

Please guide me with this situation, I have some urgent data on one of my drive which I need to recover anyhow.
