Use gparted from the Ubuntu live install media. This is probably the easier way to do it. Plug in the external hard drive. Start the program gparted. If you have not already shrunk the partition on the external HD, do it now. In most cases, the internal HD will show up as sda and the external as sdb , but this is not guaranteed. Be sure you are looking at the correct HD in gparted. Shrinking the partition will leave unallocated space.
Use this to create a new partition. Format it to ext4. Jot down the partition number. You don't need a swap partition, but if want one, shrink the new partition by the size you want or just make it a little smaller in the first place. Format that space to linux-swap. Start the installer from the icon on the desktop or on the launcher. When asked how you want to install, choose: Somethine Else.
This will start the partitioner within the installer. This is different than gparted and may look a little intimidating to a beginner.
Carefully highlight the new partition check the number and drive carefully and click Change. Follow the dialogs to a. Use the partition as ext4 , b.
Highlight the swap partition and click Change. Choose use a linux-swap and that's all for that one. This will prevent you from overwriting the master boot record on your hard drive. If you do this by accident, it's easily fixed.
That's it. To run Ubuntu, boot the computer with the USB plugged in. The boot menu on the usb will show you both Ubuntu on the external drive and Windows on the internal drive. Choose the one you want.
If you boot without the usb, you will boot into Windows normally. Ubuntu has Python 2. To install the C comiler, open the terminal, any run:.
Both are free. Create a new VM and use the installer media to install to the VM. But this time, don't worry about partitions. Choose Install Ubuntu to the entire virtual drive. This doesn't affect the rest of the hard drive. If you want to put the VM on the external hd, be sure to override the default location when creating the VM and put it on a folder on the external drive.
Creating your installation media with persistence through a Windows program like LiveUSBCreator will also work, but this option will be very slow. Ubuntu can, and does, run well entirely from an external hard drive.
I have used Ubuntu this way for years. It doesn't affect Windows. There's nothing special about installing to USB drives. You connect the USB drive, boot using a CD or an pen drive, and choose the external disk when it comes to selecting the installation location. You will have partition the external hard disk. I assume your external disk has a single partition with an NTFS filesystem.
The best thing to do is shrink this partition by about 20 GB which is more than enough for Ubuntu and create new partitions there. This is not as difficult as it sounds and you'd have to worry about partitions if you wanted to install another copy of Windows too. Using the former is quicker, but limits you to whatever space is available after the last used sector in the partition which can be very low, even if you have plenty of free space.
Using the second can be very slow, especially if the partition is large, but lets you extract most of the free space. In either case, after you get the free space, use GParted to create an extended partition there and within that extended partition, an ext4 partition. Install Ubuntu to this partition. Choose your external hard disk as the device for GRUB bootloader installation as well.
If persistence is enabled, your settings and other changes to Ubuntu that you make when in Live mode don't vanish when you restart. It's ideal for low usage scenarios. You can install Python or anything else and get comfortable with Ubuntu, and then, whenever you feel ready, install Ubuntu. Note that changes made in the live mode do not affect any installation you make with it. Full installs are more stable and secure than persistent installs, but not as quick to make. They are better at utilizing disk space as no fixed size casper-rw file or partition is required.
They are not very good for use of installing Ubuntu. Following is a step by step how to install Optional swap partition, allows hibernation and frees up memory when RAM is full. Note: You may omit disabling the hard drive if after partitioning you choose to install grub to the root of the USB drive you are installing Ubuntu to, ie sdb not sdb1.
Be cautious, many people have overwritten the HDD MBR as default location for boot loader is sda, any items in the internal drive's grub will be added to the USB's grub.
