I need help how to used external hard disk to mount in virtualbox and then installing operating system.
If someone can gived a link or short instruction it will be a great.
I will also will research on webside engine search a solution.
I admit, I have always struggled with VirtualBox where mounting or accessing external drives are involved. You are not alone.
It is one reason I prefer to use a virtual manager other than VirtualBox. Gnome Boxes or QEMU.

This is the windows command, I don't have access to my laptop to test in Linux though. But give it a shot or see if Google has how to run this in Linux.
VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename C:\usb.vmdk -rawdisk \.\PhysicalDrive4
Replace name and physical disk# with correct mounts
Maybe possibly something like
VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename ~/vbox/usb.vmdk -rawdisk /dev/nvme05p

Yes. I saw that tutorial on youtube something.
I saw also that interesting tutorial how install NAS on pc.
sudo VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename ~/test.vmdk -rawdisk /dev/sdb1
I had to play around with permissions and eventually run vbox as sudo, im sure if I invested more time i could fix it all lol but thats the command in linux.
That is true. I tested new version 7 but 6.1 is more stable.
