I set up a partition on your hard drive for Ubuntu. The issue is that without a regular USB stick, you're struggling to boot from it. Your only compatible option is an external SSD with 500GB, but it's using NTFS formatting. Let me help you figure out the best way forward.

Run Rufus in Dd mode on the SSD, treating it like a USB drive. It will overwrite the NTFS partition.

Your approach doesn't align with standard practices, as formatting the SSD is necessary before installing Linux boot files. Installing Linux directly on the SSD would be more efficient.

I attempted the same, yet the drive isn’t visible in the boot options menu. Could you clarify the correct format?

Verify your BIOS settings for boot choices and ensure USB is active. Disable secure boot if necessary.

You're unsure about the issue—are you struggling to save the image to the drive using Rufus? Or is it that you're having difficulty starting from the drive? If it's the former, Rufus may not be compatible with the device. For assistance, we'll need additional details. If it's the latter, it could be due to secure boot being activated or a setting related to legacy/UEFI boot options. Try adjusting those settings in the BIOS.
