Hello
I am desperately trying to install android X86 on an eeepc
I downloaded the image, put it on a USB stick
Upon reboot, I choose to install the system, I format my disk as ntfs (maybe not the right format..)
The installation goes well and at the end I get the message that it is successfully installed.
The problem is that upon restarting the machine, the OS is apparently not found because I get this error message
Error: unknown
file system
entering rescue mode
Grub rescue
Thank you

Hello,
If we want to have a chance of finding it, we first need to know which eeePC model, which version of Android was downloaded (some are specific to certain eeePCs), what was on it before the manipulation (Windows, Linux, which one?), what the partition scheme is, and whether we intend to replace the previous OS with Android or create a multiboot (I know, an eeePC doesn't offer much storage, but to each their own).
The situation seems to suggest either that Android was poorly installed, or that the eeePC was previously running on Linux which was poorly uninstalled, or left in multiboot without reconfiguring the boot sector.
