I downloaded android-x86-2.2-r2-eeepc.iso and successfully installed
the ISO onto a thumbdrive when I boot from the thumbdrive everything
looks good but I get this screen after installation is complete that
shows the following.
* (no service) message
* TIME
* date
* battery indicator in top right
* wifi indicator in top right (indicates no wireless available)
* Background with rainbow on left and small bird on middle/right
* Mute indicator that moves up when clicked but does not do
anything
* Open lock indicator that moves down when clicked but does not do
anything
I can't do anything at this point and can't find any information about
installing Android x86 on a 1008HA. I did find 1008HA in the Hardware
supported list.
Any suggestions on what might be going wrong?

Yes, once you unlock you should see the home screen with the android
man giving you help and a basic menu on the far right.
My question is can you tell me "exactly" how you got the image onto
the thumbdrive and made it bootable. I have an Acer Aspire One with a
broken HDD controller, and while I can run it from an external CD
drive, the thumb drive keeps saying either "missing operating system"
and now "Boot failed". I have tried at least 3 methods:
1. Install to the thumb drive from the CD
2. Use the Unetbootin to load the image directly to the thumb drive
3. Use the HP key utility and then use Unetbootin to load image
I still can't get it to boot from the thumb drive!
Any help would be appreciated.

Turns out the UI was not intuitive to me when used in the context of a
laptop. I've never used Android before so did not think to click the
lock hold and slide up. On a touchscreen it would have made more
sense.

I think I remember that Android can not write to a FAT32 partition. I
wonder if this is causing the problem.
