Thanks, helped me a lot. I installed ubuntu 22.04 on my external ssd and now i'm using with a case that supports usb 3.1. Running really smooth here. THANKS!!
I solved the "not getting the mount option". Then, I continued but my installation is tucked on detecting file systems stage. There's a problem like this but people say that I need unmount the disc Update: I solved it, too. 5:25 You said that we should press no but If you press no, your installation get stuck. PRESS YES IN THERE. Update 2: for "not getting the mount option" problem, you need the change USB 2.0 to USB 3.0 if your SSD is plugged in USB 3.0 socket.
I did the same just reversed... wanted my main machine to stay Linux but (although I play very little) wanted to have Win 11 (tbh, win 11 didn't recognize all my hardware (drivers) while PopOS 22.04 did) and some games as well as Photoshop (I know, GIMP is excellent but old horse and new habits :). Anyways I wanted to let you know how much I appreciated the oob burp collab free alternatives video(s) plus shrot yet clear and usefull explanations. I am not new to this but also far far from an expert and I think that area is pretty underrepresented on YT because there and gazillions of hacking 101 and how to install Kali in VM... and then next it's already 50.000 USD bug bounty PoC and I'm lost like a child in a lollipop land. I want it all but... just cannot (unless you already work in infosec or are just finishing university) catch up with loads of info... or maybe I am just too lazy after work. Nevertheless, keep it up if you can and (imho) the quality of your content will eventually reach wider audience, I am quite sure of it. And thx for your effort :)
Wow! That was some long path!! All i had to do was use a tool called 'Ventoy' and initialize my 512 GB external SSD as a "GPT" unit, if i recall correctly. The .ISO image-files copied to it became boot-loader options, though on a CherryTrail/Atom as my tablet lets admit all too few candidates actually succeed passing the reboot stage after a permanent install to eMMC storage... I'm afraid Ubuntu (& lightweight siblings) were among those .ISOs which failed this test; e.g. only "LiveCD" mode seemed reasonably functional, but i finally adopted Linux Mint 20.3 Una anyway. In any case, i found the evaluation process convenient and not too involving with Ventoy's sytem. VirtualBox? M'well, there needs to be an OS pre-installed in the 1st place, so...
haven't encountered it but try checking the connected partition by running `fdisk -l` , and try debugging . If you ssd doesn't show up their try replugging
Many thanks for the video. I had a problem when try to install ubuntu 22 LTS to my sumsung portalbe SSD, when boot from a usb stick, it can not make partitions on the SSD (recoganize it as a CDROM). With the VMbox, it can directly install the ubuntu to usb device. For me, virtual box can add an external USB3 device. Not sure if this will give better performance.
Hi, I have a USB drive installed with a live Ubuntu 22.04. Using it, I successfully installed Ubuntu 22.04 on an external SATA Seagate HDD, which was connected at the time to my laptop using a USB-SATA cable. Next, I attempted to do the same to an external SSD hard drive that was exFAT formatted, and the attempt failed. The process got hung at the page where I was prompted to entered my password. Primarily, the soft-key: "continue" wasn't active to be pressed. Do you have any idea what went wrong? What I suspect is: the program failed to recognize the SSD disk, although it could be seen under "Disk Management" in Windows 10. Do you have any clue how I could go around this? Thanks.
I am afraid I don't know , although it seems to me there is an issue with the SSD being recognized by the os. I would suggested deleting everything and creating a raw partition and then retry , but that's just me shooting in the dark
i too have a Seagate SSD which is in exFAT format. I would like to avoid the same problem. If you have been able to solve the problem would it be possible for you tell how you did it? If not, then a confirmation of the same would be helpful. Thanking you in advance.
You still have the Windows bootloader installed on your PC, which only has an entry for Windows itself. If you have a dual boot system, you usually have GRUB as a boot loader and Windows and Linux both appear. You could then probably add an entry for your external drive but it is not there by default. So yes, you probably always need to go to BIOS for booting
I do, though sometimes I need the vulnerable piece of software as well as my custom tool both on the same machine with access to the hardware. In those cases. This works wonders
Hey, I did this 6 Month ago and everything went great. But now I did it again on my PC to use the SSD on my PC and Laptop. But the SSD is only boootable from my PC (the device I used to do the setup) and in the BIOS from my laptop the SSD isn't even displayed in the BOOT-sequence. Any Ideas?
Can you share more.depth videos where laptop has windows installed and we need to boot the same external ssd with ubuntu or linux . But it doesn't boot . Due to uefi so how to make this possible without making bios changes for legacy support.. and is it possible?
I managed to install Ubuntu on my external SSD as you said. Now I'm trying to plug this external disk into the computer where my local disk with Windows OS is installed and 1 hard disk connected to my local disk. But my computer is broken. Fortunately I was able to recover windows but I cannot boot Ubuntu. I ran into a GNU GRUB version 2.06 minimal bash-like bug. Probably couldn't boot.
actually. I saw ssd boot on the boot menu but All OS is broken and pc show the GNU GRUB version 2.06. Then, I solved that problem but Ubuntu boot doesnt show up on the boot menu again
@@canerkoyuncu6771 since its not dual boot it will not show u anything, as soon as u use primary boot device to be ur SSD it should directly start the ubunut version. I tried similar steps and made another manjaro installation on my newer SSD, although it doesnt match the ubuntu performance for some reason I would suggest deleting all partitions on ur SSD and trying a fresh installation. the newer virtualbox 7 might be better
Hello, I have a problem when I launch Ubuntu in the virtual box, once I am inside I cannot mount the SSD, which in fact disconnects from the laptop. Any solution for that?
@@nigamelastic it doesn 't work unfortunately. The moment I press start and Ubuntu boots up my hard drive gets disconnected. I cannot see it even on windows anymore
Sometimes yes, but I encountered it mostly for GPUs, since the video was released I found another way of doing this without virtual box. Where U can simply choose a specific ssd. And I pair the windows/Ubuntu ssd to specify system and use only them. Still better than dual booting in my opinion. However uninstall and reinstalling/ updating specific snapstore/apt packages should not be a problem . U can simply remove and reinstall them
@@TeamKiller06 meanwhile u can simply use usb sticks to create a usb bootable and then choose ur external ssd while installing, I tried it too and that worked for the latest ubuntu
@@nigamelastic Last time when I did that I messed up with bootloader. For some reason it installed bootloader on the same disk where Windows installed. It's very tricky. The only way to install Linux with bootloader on external disk that way is to unplug all other SSDs before.

Isn’t the goal here to have persistent storage and Ventoy doesn’t have that, or am I wrong
smart, anyway, I suggest to intall vm extension pack n set usb2
while using ubuntu running off the ssd .. ubuntu keeps crashing and all icons become grey .. system becomes unusable
This fails with VirtualBox 7. The Ubuntu installer shows
You need at least 8.6 GB disk space to install Ubuntu.
This computer has only 0.0B
use usb controller 3.0
best to use is hdd / ssd in hdd enclosure its much faster than external hard drive.
for some reason my ssd isnt showing up in the vm. has anyone else faced this issue before? if so how did you fix it?
haven't encountered it but try checking the connected partition by running `fdisk -l` , and try debugging . If you ssd doesn't show up their try replugging

I think file system. Linux not recognise exfat. Use ext4.

Thanking you in advance.
Show please how did you select the linux os from.boot menu?
at the time external ssd connected can you also boot in to windows ?
Hi, do you have an idea why while attacking the ssd starts Windows. I currently solve by going through the BIOS. Thanks for the video it saved me
You still have the Windows bootloader installed on your PC, which only has an entry for Windows itself. If you have a dual boot system, you usually have GRUB as a boot loader and Windows and Linux both appear. You could then probably add an entry for your external drive but it is not there by default.
So yes, you probably always need to go to BIOS for booting
Will this work for MacBook…
Hi, thanks for the video!. Question, does you external ssd get too hot? I am running windows server 2022 and it gets really hooot!
no mine never got hot, I use a sandisk internal ssd with a pretty standard case
You are security researcher, why u not use kali/parrot as a portable os in ssd?
I do, though sometimes I need the vulnerable piece of software as well as my custom tool both on the same machine with access to the hardware. In those cases. This works wonders
Hi, thanks for the video. For the last part where you reboot the Ubuntu, is it booting from the virtualbox?
no its from the ssd directly
@@nigamelastic How did you manage to solve the 'Failed to attach the USB device ...' error?
@@lkoh try checking the mount points, I checked once and it just worked
How much time does it take to boot from usb 3.0 interface? Any kind of lag?
I used USB 2.0 with unnoticeable lag
@@nigamelastic How much time does it to take to boot? Thank you very much.

My best guess is that U need to enable legacy, but honestly I could be wrong
I asked at asus the same thing but it isnt possible to change to legacy. So I have to reinstall ubuntu in UEFI mode. is that possible?@@nigamelastic
because the first time it was possible with the same laptop which cant use legacy-mode
Hi, thank you for the video. I am not getting the mount option. Can you suggest what could have gone wrong? Thank you
i see a lot of people seeing the same issue recently, I would say check the status using fdisk utility and investigate

Cop out. Not everyone has only external SSD exposed to Ubuntu installer. How do you install when you have to manually set up partitions on the SSD???
