    Hi!
    I have an Acer Aspire D250 Netbook.
    I want to install Android on it (As I already made it on other PC computers).
    But unfortunately, it's impossible to boot from any USB key.
    Linux process starts and stops after 3 seconds.
    I tried my android bootable usb key on another pc, and it works fine.
    My question is : How do I make this PC boots well on a USB key?
    If not, is there another way to install android on a partition without booting from a USB key (Perhaps Under win7)?
    Thank you for your answers
    Chris

    I have installed the android-x86-4.4-RC1.iso to a 2 GB usb flash drive from my desktop running Fedora 20.
    I used the "dd" command:
    Code:
    dd if=android-x86-4.4-RC1.iso of=/dev/sdx
    where the device
    "sdx" was "sdf" on my computer and was found by opening a terminal and entering:
    Code:
    df -h
    and you should see how your device is listed.

    I plug the usb flash drive into my AAO 250 then turn it on and press the F12 key and wait for the boot device
    menu, use the arrow keys and select your usb device then hit enter and you should see the Android boot menu.
