Installing Bodhi/Arch linux to exernal USB stickt - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a 32 GB Nexus 7, and have installed Multirom v7, modified recovery TWRP 2.4.1.0, kernel_kexec_42-2.zip and have a functioning Ubuntu 13.04/Android dual-boot setup.
The question: on a Nexus 7 with an external USB stick and Ubuntu 13.04 installed (on the stick), can you add Bodhi or Arch Linux (to the stick) rather than to internal storage? If so, what is the procedure?
This topic shows up in several posts in showthread.php?t=2011403 thread but I cannot find a clear answer.
Thank you.

MAGLDR Mass Storage Not Working

Hi all, does anyone have an issue with Windows 7 X64 and the Mass Storage option in MAGLDR? Basically the device either comes up as unknown or the driver doesn't install
Any ideas?
Did you install ANDROID drivers or HTC Sync 3.0?
If neither, then I recommend you install Android USB drivers.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
If you don't feel like installing the whole Android SDK? Someone already just zipped the drivers and posted somewhere in the internet.
I found ADB usb drivers link somewhere here and installed and it worked for me.
I'm with Vista 32 bit though, so i'm not sure about Win7.
HTC Sync also works for me. Give it a try.
I had this issue. I believe it's related to the type of SD card used. I swapped out my 32GB Play.com SD card for a 4gb one and it worked fine.

[Q]Trying to dual boot alongside Win 7, need GPT disc?

I've been unable to install the preview. I made a separate partition, but it tells me that I have a EFI system and need a GPT disc. So I tried converting it from MBR to GPT, but still got the same error. Had to delete the entire disc to do this by the way. The ironic part is that now I couldn't install Windows 7 BECAUSE I had a GPT disc, so I didn't risk trying to install Windows 8 first by formatting through the installation program, in case it would refuse to instal win 7. Anyone have a clue? Oh and of course I booted from the dvd.

Not sure what you did wrong or why its not working but heres the guide I followed to install the 64bit with developer tools.
1. I used easeus partition master free edition to shrink my windows 7 partition and created 60gb of unallocated space. By the way my windows 7 partition shows up as basic mbr and is in the ntfs format.
2. I downloaded the 64 dev preview.
3. Since no dvd's I had are 4.9gb I downloaded windows 7 usb dvd tool
4. Then ran it and pointed it to the dev preview iso and then to my flash drive(which had to be erased)
5. Booted from the usb and installed the preview onto the new partition and haven't had a single problem dual booting both.
Thanks, but I did pretty much the same. Except that I downloaded the version without the dev tools that was 3.6 gb, and burned that to a dvd and booted from it.
Oh and I did screw up my first partitioning attempt, I used the built in tool to make a partition and ignored the warning telling me that it would be converted to dynamic, making it impossible to install Windows on the disc. I had to reformat the disc too revert it, I did this when I reinstalled Windows 7. So I don't see how this could have anything too do with this issue. My disc shows up as basic MBR now as well.
Anyway I'll try again later when I get home from work.

[Q] No Drives Found on Windows 8 Install (SATA / IDE Mode))

I recently installed Windows 8 x86 M3 using Daemon Tools from inside Windows 7. So Far I am loving it, but it has a few glitches, and I cannot install all of my programs since some of them are only for x64. Obviously I cannot run the install from within an x86 environment. I used the Windows USB/DVD Tool to format and copy the install files to an 8gb usb flash drive. It boots fine and I begin the install. However I get an error when I reach the time to choose a hard disk to install to. No Drives Found! I click browse to select the drivers and in the browse menu all of my disk drives are listed...I can even navigate to my chipset driver folder. When I get to the proper folder the driver for the nvidia chipset pops up. I click install, and Windows begins to install the drivers. After a few seconds it completes and then gives me the same error...No Drives Found!
I currently have my 2 SATA drives in IDE Mode. This is because I do not want to set up a RAID Array for fear of losing all the data on both drives. So I assumed in IDE Mode Windows shouldnt need a RAID driver.
Does anyone have any ideas to help me out with this? I was thinking windows 7 portable x64, but that requires a 16gb Flash drive...so I read. Maybe XP portable x64? Or just any clue how to get my drives detected?
what happens to me himself and tried everything copy the drivers on a CD but nothing
so to fix this i am considering switching to raid. i am goint to copy all of my data to my 1tb hdd. then add my 2tb hdd to the raid array by itself. my question is can i mount the 1tb sata hdd, not in the raid array, to copy the data to the new raid array before converting the 1tb hdd to raid? or can this only be done with usb or in linux?
i had this problem and it turned out to be a buggered download of the ISO, re downloaded it and it worked fine.
cant promise it will work for you but im chuffed with it now and thats the only thing i did
Sorry if I miss understand you, but are you trying to install 32bit Windows 8 on an 64x Machine? And the Disk Image is a 32bit Version?
Try Downloading the 64bit Developer Preview from Microsoft. Then use the Windows 7 USB Download tool and create a install drive from the ISO file. Reboot and it should work. I've run into this before an it's usually when I use a DVD.
I'd link you to the ISO's and USB tool but I'm a new user :C

[Q] Connecting N4 to get to internal storage on linux

I have such problem:
I've got password on my Windows 7 that I don't, so I have Linux Live on pendrive without su permissions... So there's my question:
If I root my N4 will I be able to connect it to Linux without installing needed packages or I need custom ROM?

NTFS Read/Write Support

Ok, I took the plunge and installed Remix OS on my laptop. Its an HP M6 Sleekbook and so far, Remix is running superb. Its actually become my default bootup option. However, I found that it lacked a few things.
First, even though I created a 60Gb partition, Remix OS was limiting app space to 4Gb. Well, that sucks. But I found a pretty quick tutorial for modifying "Data.img" to make it larger and since have my whole partition dedicated to app space. Its nice. (There are premade "Data.img" files on Reddit if you want them. I did not because they were limited to 8Gb, 32Gb, and 64Gb. I needed a pretty specific 55Gb limit.)
Then I found that I wanted root. Well, to do this, you will need a version of Linux, like Ubuntu. I followed this guide running Ubuntu from a 32Gb flash drive and it worked great. I'm now rooted! Guide: http://rootmygalaxy.net/root-remix-os-using-ubuntu-guide/
Well, while this works like a desktop OS, I was a bit surprised to find that there's no way to mount drives. Especially NTFS drives. Think of the benefits this could have!! We could have a version of Android that basically runs on ANY 64-bit computer with NTFS mounting/read/write support! Its almost the ultimate in lightweight PC repair utility.
Guess what?? Paragon NTFS & HFS+ app works beautifully. It will automatically detect and mount your NTFS drives. There is a downside. It will also mount the hidden partition Microsoft uses when installing Windows, as well as any recovery partitions you might have. Also, it doesn't remember aliases given in other operating systems. (Example: My external drive is called "Backup". Paragon mounts it as ParagonNTFS_5.)
You can now use USB drives with Remix OS. They show up in the file manager, or you can access them through the Paragon app. Paragon app is completely free, too. This just keeps getting better and better!
Now if only we had a way to flash zips designed for custom recoveries. I sure do miss Xposed on this thing. (AdBlock, Minminguard, YouTube Adaway)

Yes, wrong forum. This is for the Ultratablet, not for the Remix OS
