My system is being bulky due to these heavy softwares installed , is there any way that i can install the lightroom on the external hard drive and when i want to use it i can connect the hard drive and could use it.

Thanks

No... Adobe programs do not install to a removable drive

Move data files to your external drive to make room on your internal drive

You can move the catalog file and the photos, or some of the photos to an external drive, but you can't move the application itself.

You can move the photos (which probably take up the most space) to the external HD, by following the directions in "Part 2 — Updating Folder Location" in this document: http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder.htm

There is no reason to partition the drive for Lightroom's benefit. (Perhaps you need partitions for other sofware ...)
