Avoid installing Ubuntu on your external hard drive using a USB or DVD. If you install Ubuntu on your external hard drive while booting from USB or DVD, you will need to connect your external hard drive to your computer every time you want to use it. Instead use VMware Player to install Ubuntu on external hard drive.
