[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] ktdt00:
This step by step may not be 100% but it should get most folks to a bootable Android/rEFInd setup. Helpful feedback appreciated. Sorry about the formatting. It was all pretty before the editor removed the spaces and tabs.

1) Disable Secure Boot - Boot to the UEFI (BIOS) setup screen and disable it. You can get there through Advanced Startup in Windows or F2 during a restart

2) Make or leave room for an Android partition on your tablets drive using one of the following:

a) Clean install of Windows leaving unallocated space for the new partition << This was my choice using Win10 Home 32

1. Note: I had already done the Win10 upgrade so my device was registered with M$ for activation

2. I used the Windows Media Creator to make a bootable USB - Chose Customize - Deleted existing partitions - Left myself 10GB

b) OR Use your favorite partition manager to shrink the Windows partition to create unallocated space per post #4 << props!

c) OR Maybe you already have unallocated space or a partition you can sacrifice

d) OR Whatever your case may be - you need free space. If A, B or C don't make sense then maybe a little more research is required.

3) Install rEFInd

a) I followed the instructions for Windows on the 'rodsbooks' web site. Use 32 bit arch. << props and thanks!

c) After installation the machine was still booting to Windows so I had to go into the UEFI (BIOS) screen and choose it. Then rEFInd started.

4) Create a partition on the tablet drive for Android

a) I followed the instructions in post #4. I had 10GB unallocated from my Win10 install and made a 10GB ext4 partition << props!

b) Reboot to Ubuntu after creating the partition to let it mount the new volume. Just easier for me... :)

5) Install Android Locally

a) The Magic Stick will be mounted as /cdrom - or at least it was from me

b) Copy the complete folders x86, EFI, isolinux and boot from the Magic Stick to the root of the new android partition

1) My new partition was in /media/t100/android ("android" being the volume label I gave it in step 4a)

c) Create a folder named "data" inside the x86 folder.

d) Remove data.img and install.img from x86 folder (you might want to play with data.img - it's the data partition but it worked better for me creating the "data" folder per step 5.c.)

6) All done. When you reboot rEFInd will find the bootloader on your partition and present the same boot options as the Magic Stick

a) Android will boot now if you choose it. The other options won't work of course...

b) You can clean up the bootloader menu by editing grub.cfg in the boot folder of the android partition

c) WiFi connected right up during Setup

d) I did get some errors and various FC's but for the most part they cleaned themselves up during subsequent reboot

e) It hangs on the pulsing Android screen once in a while during restarts. A power-off reset usually fixes it

7) The only thing I can't get to work is choosing the OS in rEFInd with the volume buttons as maxID did. None of my

buttons do anything. I've searched high and low for a .efi driver but no luck yet.
