so heres the problem, I've been hard at work for months on end trying to get a windows x86 spec'd tablet ( Acer s1003) to run Android. I have an iso for Android x86 for the tablet and is the only install I have had any success with. the sucess is that it installs and can not boot. the installer iso I have has a partitioning "feature?" and I am unable to figure out how to make Android boot. the tablet is uefi based and 100% can not boot without a file named "bootia32.efi". oddly ubuntu distros are unable to be booted from within the bios. windows installations with the bootia32.uefi file loads and then crashes on all versions. android has been my only success oddly... any ideas on what I may have left out?

Create a new 100MB partition labeled "bios boot" and another one for your operating system.

I'll attempt again. Don't worry if I'm not perfect with Linux commands.

The problem remains after installing; I had to restart with fresh partitions. Now the issue is that the UEFI won’t boot into Android. L

May not run natively with EFI. Consider installing rEFInd first and then loading it afterward: http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/. Note it won't install properly on most platforms, but works reliably during legacy boot.

Consider alternative methods, such as running Android in a virtual machine. There are many reliable Android emulators available, and I find Nox to be very effective for this purpose.

The ISO works well with VMware but not as effectively on the EFI BIOS tablet...

Attempt EFI mode within VMware. Is the system still able to boot?
