Have removed internal HDD for it has bad sectors. Can load Linux from jump drive. Installed Linux to external USB HDD and now system will not boot from the external.

Did you change the boot priority in BIOS? You need to set your external USB device as the first boot device, see here: http://linux-bible.com/changing-the-boot-order-in-bios/
