I have an HP mini 110 that I am installing the latest x86 on. I chose install and am not running the live CD. I have formatted the drive and set the flag to bootable. I can get through the install and first boot, along with running Android and installing apps. But if I shut down or reboot I get the "bootmgr is missing" error. I have booted to gparted and made sure the HDD I am installing to is clean. I've tried fat32 and ntsf, and it seems it only wants to format the HDD in ntsf. Not sure what to do. I have tried selecting "install GRUB" but that doesn't do anything.

Like I said I can get first boot right after install, but any power loss results in bootmgr missing. Its like its running a live CD even though I told it to install to the HDD. Thoughts?

With Gparted, format your HDD with ext3, after, you go in Android's installation, you select your hard drive and you install everything without formatting !
