just to make it clear for me: You want to install Ubuntu on a external disk for using it as a boot hdd later? If so You will have to install it on the external drive the following: - chose the correct drive in the drag down menu (there where "/dev/sda" is shown in the picture) and chose "sdb" instead if possible. if not please write or show me, what else is listed up there.

  • if you have chosen the external HD correctly you have to do three things
    1. create the partition for the root system - recommended is something from 20 GB on, as far as I know
    2. create the partition for the SWAP - recommended 2.5 times your RAM but if the RAM is >/= 4GB then 2 times is enough so 8GB if the RAM is 4GB
    3. create a "Data" partition for your precious files. after having done this the Installer should be able to go on.
