Thread: installing on external HDD


hi all, i'm trying install 11.10 on external usb hdd, installer returns saying installing grub /dev/sdd (my usb drive) fails , installer crashes.

work pc (supposedly doing work things on )changing internal hard drive @ no go, can't install grub there.

general idea when external hard drive removed pc boot when given me, plug in (or switch on) external drive , can dual boot.

ideas? many thanks!

sorry should have said i've checked basics - pc can boot hdd, , before internal drive in boot order.

i've tried twice more 2 different downloads , hit same problem (i tried mini cd gets confused internal raid set up) installing fine until boot loader crashes installer @ removing files stage. can't see way install ubuntu without bootloader in installer menus?

again!
