Question. How can I install KALI in EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE and how to RUN KALI from external hard drive without damaging my PC and using FULL.......FULL space of EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE?

First some question suggestions.
Second a forum suggestion.
Third a description as to how I would approach this.

1.) Work on your thread namings, I took a look at the other questions you've asked and things like "Dear Experts" or "help me!" may get some attention; however not the right attention you'd always prefer. The suggestion here is to be professional and detailed, within reason; such as "Looking for assistance with installing Kali on external HD"

2.) There is a Distribution forum and sub-forums (none for Kali that I can see) which addresses distribution specific questions, this question is not Linux hardware. Suggest you move this thread to the distributions forum.

3.) I would approach this in the following manner:

- Download an install ISO to a CD or thumbstick. Figure out what you need. If you need 32-bit or 64-bit, figure that out first. Figure out also if you "have" a CD reader, or the capability to boot off of CD/DVD. If not, then consider the same for the thumbstick case and figure out how to burn an ISO to the thumbstick if you haven't done that before. All of these things can be done/learned via google.
- Determine if you can boot off of that external hard drive. Enter your intended machine's BIOS and verify that you'd be able to boot off of that external hard drive if you chose too. Otherwise, that's a big first hurdle.
- After booting the install CD/thumbstick, choose to install and verify that you can point the install at the external hard drive; you should be able to do that. There are likely going to be issues booting where you'll need to install grub and configure it with conditions, depending on whether or not your external hard drive is visible.
- Another option is to disconnect your primary disk when you do this; you'll be booting off of CD or thumbstick and therefore the next visible hard drive will be that external one.
- If all is clear and it's not intending to install on your primary disk, then perform the install.

In the future, try some of these actions first and report "this is what I've done, where I'm at, and my problem is accomplishing ...." that will make it easier for people to give you more applicable responses.

I have a wd passport external hard drive and I tried installing Kali 2018.2 32 bit on it but after taking out primary hard drive and booting from it it goes to grub rescue terminal saying: error: attempt to read or write outside of disk ‘hd0’.
Entering rescue mode...
Grub rescue>

What do I do?

Resurrecting a five year old post is one thing that should not be done here at LQ. The other is to post requests for help with a Pentesting distro from a newbie that has no business using it with little or no experience.


Maybe it is best for you to look at the sticky in <newbie> Using Kali Linux? PLEASE READ!!


Or Kali here, Kali there! Why you should not expect detailed answers.
