Are you willing to release the secret of what is going wrong with the
installer? Because it certainly Works For Me (tm).
Now, there may be issues with your particular hardware, but we'll only
be able to troubleshoot that if you tell us what the issues are.
I note you tell us how old the laptop is, but not the age of the
external drive. I mention this because I have, not unreasonably, had
trouble trying to install to a 12-year-old drive which turned out to
be a bit dodgy...
