That's probably why you can't download the installers to that drive.

Have you considered partitioning the drive and make a small, unencrypted volume of around 100 GB?

What won't download to your external Seagate Plus 2T drive? Are you trying to install Monterey on it also?

Why do you have a password on the Seagate?

How is it formatted?

Most Seagate drives come with software on it. Did you install that software? Macs do not need to manage the drive.
