If anyone is having an issue trying to install to your target hard drive, you should probably edit your partition first. For your primary partition, create a 100 MB for GRUB to automatically install to and make sure the boot flag is set for it. For the rest of your hard drive, just create a logical partition. I fought with this for hours because I had the luxury of not being able to boot from a USB drive and no burnable discs. =)

I truly appreciate that you didn't go off on a peripheral tangant or include any extraneous non-important info. Best instruction video I have seen in many years, and I have been on KZbin since shortly after (March 2005) KZbin going "live online" in February of 2005. Thank You.

[@oldfrenchie]

Great instructions. Followed them to the letter to setup Android x86 to a similar HP desktop PC. Did the Live CD install first, incurred no errors so proceeded to install directly to the hard disk. Everything went smoothly. One issue though. This PC is connected via an Ethernet Cable. Under NETWORK & INTERNET, upon adding my internet provider's SSID and password, Androic-x86 created a "WIFI" network icon called "VirtWiFi". Every time I reboot my "Android PC", this "VirtWiFi" is what it connects to. The issue is that the connection gets dropped after about 30 mins, and the only way to get re-connected is to "REBOOT". When it drops the connection, going to Settings > Network & Internet is fruitless because "VirtWiFi" is not visible and clicking on the search for a Network button yields absolutely nothing, the clock just spins. At the 8:50 mark of your video you stated your Ethernet was fast, so it must work. Any ideas what my issue is? Any help would be greatly appreciated .were

Android doesn't need additional drivers beyond what's in the base OS.

I just put this onto my broke-ass, Windows 7 laptop and the directions worked like a charm. The only thing I can say is if you're putting it into a broke-ass WIndows 7 laptop, use the 32-bit version of Android 86 b/c the newer version just crashed something fierce. Thanks :)

Most Xbox compatible game controllers work out of the box on Android. Try the controller with your Android phone or tablet. If it works with that, it will also work with Android-x86. But not all apps allow you to use them.
