I proceeded to install the HD internally rether than via USB and once I did that the installation went ahead and completed without a glitch. Thank you for your response, apparently the OS did not like the speed in which the USB cable was communicating with the H/W and therefore kept on crashing(3 times to be precise) ,but as I mentioned before when the HD was online via SATA there was no problem whatsoever. Now I find myself with the challenging task of learning the OS itself and I am sure it will take me a while as I am taking on the task on my own.
