I installed Ubuntu and everything went ok. I did it by looking at this guide

http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2011/05/23/install-ubuntu-11-04-on-external-hard-disk/

Then when it boots from USB I get this error at the begining while booting

disk drive for boot is not ready yet or not present

According to this guide method 1 I went to grub/grub.cfg (since in GRUB 2 its no more menu.lst) and changed all /dev/sdc to /dev/sda as the guy says in his guide, but after these changes it still gives me the same error message. Can anyone help with this issue?

You should not be using /dev/anything in grub.cfg or /etc/fstab because device references are subject to change. Instead you should be using the UUID.
