I am brand new to Linux so I am in the dark. I have been a Windows user for 20 yrs. So I appreciate all the help I can get. Thank you.

I proceeded to install the HD internally rether than via USB and once I did
that the installation went ahead and completed without a glitch. Thank you
for your response, apparently the OS did not like the speed in which the USB
cable was communicating with the H/W and therefore kept on crashing(3 times
to be precise) ,but as I mentioned before when the HD was online via SATA
there was no problem whatsoever.
Now I find myself with the challenging task of learning the OS itself and I
am sure it will take me a while as I am taking on the task on my own.
