[Bug 1396853] Re: can't install ubuntu into my external hd

[Phillip Susi]

You tried to install grub to /dev/sda, which is partitioned using gpt
and does not have a bios_grub partition.  You either need to create a
bios_grub partition on that drive in order to install grub, or install
grub to another drive ( and configure your bios to boot that drive ).
