Grub Rescue error while booting from external drive
GRUB on MBR of Windows-only internal drive, with distros on external driveElementary OS only booting from USB, cannot boot to partitions on SSD (Windows and eOS)Grub rescue after corrupted hard-drive (“read-only filesystem”)Grub error: unknown filesystem. (all partitions are unknown)Freshly installed elementary OS Freya missing on boot menuCompletely remove Grub from computerDeleted grub partition from windows. Cannot enter BIOS, only shows grub terminalSystem not booting, grub rescue failing. Partition restoring?can't dual boot linux alongside windowsInstall Grub when ssd is hd1

I have an old PC and its HDD isn't working so I installed elementary OS in my External HDD and tried to boot from it but my PC returned a grub rescue "no such partition" error.
I tried to boot from it through my laptop and it worked fine. I tried typing ls finding the partition manually but strangely it listed only one partition but it real has 1 NTFS, 1 ext4, 1 swap. Is this because my PC is failing to detect the entire 1 TB drive, if so any work around (Without formatting the NTFS partition is preferred)?
I have attached the partition table of the External HDD:Partition table GParted

What makes you think the whole 1TB isn't recognized? I don't know your issue, but variations in BIOS/UEFI can cause one machine to boot an external drive correctly, another to not boot it (was your OS installed on your desktop? or the laptop? did you use UUID [ie. drive specific] or sdax labelling (ie. bios/config specific or machine specific)

Sorry I'm confused; you have mentioned two machines, and not answered on which you installed elementary (except it was the external drive). Many machines BIOS/UEFI can ignore external drives for booting (they aren't seen, or for some they'll see one external device if only one installed, but if more than one ignore them all during booting; some of this can be changed in machine setup), so it could be limitations of your hardware (or having multiple usb devices plugged in during boot due to BIOS limitations). You'll have to provide more, or check you machines bios/config setup.
