Step 5: Select your appropriate external hard disk partition to install Android x86 i.e. You can see in the image below: “sdb1 win95 FAT32 v220w” is the external USB Drive partition other than the installation media or you can install on any new partition. You can format the USB drive to ext3 or ext2 partition to get more internal storage. Here what you should do is modifying some codes like wifi_load_driver and wifi_unload_driver. For Broadcom or CSR’s wifi driver, you can directly use the original wifi.c. But for atheros’s ath6kl driver, there are total three.ko modules to install. So some micro variables and codes need to be changed to adapt it.

I am live booting the Asus laptop version of Android-x86 4.0 on my Acer Laptop from my USB Pendrive. Everything is working fine, however I want to install the OS on the USB drive instead of live booting it. The USB drive is 16GB in size.

I want to live boot the system and then install on the same drive without using any other drives. If possible, later on, I would want to mount some part of the USB drive as the SD Card. How can I do this?

2. I've installed Android x86 on my windows tablet, and all works apart from the touchscreen. I've found out how to add support to it, but only by using the source, which I don't really know how to, and it would take out WiFi, Ethernet, USB, etc.
3. To install USB drivers for Android, you need to download the most recent version of PdaNet. Here is the procedure: Here is the procedure: Disconnect Android from PC.

The solution is pretty simple, far more easier than I anticipated:

1. Partition your USB drive/SDCard, into two partitions, using this EaseUS Partition Master, which is what I used.
2. Partition layout needs to be one with 1GB of space with FAT32 filesystem, that is for the installer.
3. Remaining partition of type ext3 (Linux partition).

Android X86 Install

The installer, when live-booting from the USB Drive/SDCard, will show the just-created partition on the USB/SDCard, just select that partition to install on it and its done.
