It's unclear what information you expect to have in the text file, 
please elaborate on that (preferably with examples).

For a simple listing of files with full path something like below should 
do what you want:

    cd /path/to/external_drive
    find > files_on_external_drive.txt


Hope this helps,
Andrei
