    Would you please edit the original question to provide some more information on the exact nature of the problem? Do you have the Ubuntu installation on the external drive, or elsewhere, and are unable to mount the external drive from there? Also, please provide any errors, or attempts you performed to resolve the issue on your own.

To clarify, based on your additional comments:

If you converted your Ubuntu partion into an NTFS formatted drive, then yes, your Ubuntu installation will no longer work, regardless of whether it was on an external HDD or not.

It sounds like you're going to probably need to start over. Ubuntu would want (by default) an ext4 formatted drive.
