Hi!

I would like to install Android-x86 4.4-r5, how can i do that?

I didn't find any tutorial, but many people asked on other forum.

You meant you want to install android-x86 to a sdcard?

Have you really tried to find?

Just choose your sdcard as the destination partition.
However, whether if your device is able to boot from
a sdcard is another story. (depends on your bios support)

if /dev/mmcblk1p2' s root folder has Android folder has system、data、initrd.img、ramdisk.img、kernel,then copy initrd.img、ramdisk.img、kernel to /dev/mmcblk0p1 root folder' s Android folder . grub can't find /dev/mmcblk1 kernel、initrd,can find /dev/mmcblk0p1(esp fat32 partition) kernel、initrd ,and grub will find /dev/mmcblk1p2 system and data

Thanks for the answer!

It sounds a little bit complicate, do you have a video tutorial about this?

Hi!

Yes, i tried but i only found other question on the internet.

So, if i want to instal android x86 to an SD card, i need to change the instalation method.

For example, i make a bootable pendrive and i choose the sd card as a destinaton?

My old computer doesen't have an HDD but it has an SD Card reader on the mother board. This is the reason why i want to install android to an sd card.
Unfortunatelly i didn't find a tutorial about this on youtube.
