That would explain everything. In Linux (not just Ubuntu), external hard drives are treated just like internal ones, and the Ubuntu installer might have been confused by that. However, they are treated differently at boot time (the exact "treatment" they get depends also from the computer's BIOS); many times, external drives are not recognized. The error message you reported states exactly that: the GRUB bootloader was not able to find the Ubuntu partition as it was on an external drive.
I'm trying to install Ubuntu on an external drive and get more information about how external drives are handled by the Ubuntu installer.
