hi,
know problem, not sure know solution trouble.
problem is: whenever install or update or upgrade linux, grub gets updated , gets control of os.
so, should have done installing ubuntu (or else) on external hd after removing internal hd.
if had windows on internal hd, not know how solve problem.
if had ubuntu on internal hd, connect external hd, boot internal linux, open terminal , write "sudo dpkg reconfigure grub-pc". ok everything. have lost grub on external hd.
sorry not being of help.
