I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop, which has had the os removed and hard disk wiped. I downloaded the latest version of Ubuntu desktop onto an external hard drive. I am struggling on the Dell laptop to access the external hard drive and install ubuntu. I have changed the boot sequence on the Dell so that USB drive is no.1, but still not able to access the external hard drive & load ubuntu. Can anyone help? Thanks Kevin

    If you don't have any os, then you will need another computer to make a bootable usb. From this bootable usb you can install ubuntu. All this information can be found on internet – Abhay Patil Sep 13 '20 at 14:07

Why dont you put ubuntu(or Lbuntu lighter version) on the USB instead of the external drive. That will be the easiest way to get it running. Otherwise I think you will have to manually mount the external drive so that is recognized.
