Two notes: 1. if you do not find any better way, you may boot a live linux distribution over your windows installation without damaging it. 2. To install Qubes onto this 2TB external HDD I imagine you need another source (such as a USB pendrive) for keeping the Qubes iso installer. Then, installation should start with the pendrive and the 2TB HDD will be the target. Once I did that and it worked.
