External HDD can't be a replacement of internal HDD as the transfer rate will not cross 40 MB/S in case of USB 2.0 and 100-130 MB/S in case of USB 3.0. If your lappy is under warranty then contact the service center and if isn't then get a new Laptop HDD and replace the internal one with the new one.
