I've been trying to install Kubuntu on an external USB powered HDD for some time, but without success.
I have an external USB powered HDD, on which I was successfully using 'Ubuntu' for sometime and then I tried to move to Kubuntu.
I removed the internal HDD from my laptop and plugged the external one in the USB port (so that the grub doesn't install on my internal, and later on I'm able to boot my windows without the external plugged in). Popped in Kubuntu 9.10 live CD, and did a complete install on one of my partitions on the external.
Now when I boot from USB (even with or without the internal HDD connected), the boot fails, it either hands midway or it shows me some error (I'll give the exact error text soon).
I'm using Ext3 FS for Kubuntu.
Is there anything anyone can point out that I'm doing wrong or some specific step/setting that I need to make.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Regards
