I'm trying to install a copy of Ubuntu on a 32GB USB drive, and after having downloaded the ISO image and created the bootable drive with Rufus, I boot from the USB and start the installation process as normal. However, when I reach the option to choose which drive to install the OS on I am presented with my SSD (sda), HDD (sdb), and windows boot manager, but not the USB drive itself. Can anyone shed any light on what I could be doing wrong?

That's to be expected. If you were allowed to do that, then the installer would overwrite itself, and then you'd get a kernel panic and/or an I/O error.
Besides, doing a full install to a USB drive isn't a good idea anyway.
