So i want to install Ubuntu on an external HD, so im creating it's partitions and then it came came the problem... There is no option to select such a thing like i saw on Youtube:

(Even though the text in the image is in Portuguese and not in English, it can be clearly seen that there is no EFI option to select)

    With an external drive you must partition in advance to have the ESP on the external drive. You can use gparted on live installer. UEFI/gpt partitioning in Advance, new versions use swap file so swap partition optional: http://askubuntu.com/questions/743095/how-to-prepare-a-disk-on-an-efi-based-pc-for-ubuntu Install: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1167910/unable-to-properly-boot-linux-from-external-ssd/1167940#1167940 – oldfred Apr 02 '22 at 02:35
