Well, I'd recently been running Windows 8 Consumer Preview on my Netbook, as my netbook was faster for it, however my Wifi seemed to tank on it.

Anyways, I'd looked into Android on a Netbook before, and with ICS being ported, I figured I'd give it a go.

Now, first of all, my netbooks fully working perfectly with ICS, it's nice and fast etc, however it's internal partition is only 2GB, as I have 2GB RAM (However that 2GB is actual Hard Drive partition)

I'm not sure how to go about mounting the internal HDD as an SD card, here's the instructions, but I really don't get them ;

Has anyone done this before?

Cheers.
 
Erm, could be problematic actually installing Android on a Windows based netbook.

You might not be able to get the correct sound, chipset and video drivers tbh!

Be Careful!

My sound etc all works, video seems fine.
I quite literally just need help with sorting the storage space out.

Then use my netbook as intended ; Browsing and Media Play back, nice and fast, leaps ahead of what it could ever do with Windows.
 
There's no specific build for my netbook, I'm just using an Asus EEPC image.

It's installed to my hard drive, via the installer, so boots from my hard drive, however, it'll only have 2GB internal memory/storage , you can also create a 2GB fake SD card, I'm trying to mount a 240GB partition of my internal hard drive as SD card (For mass storage)

As that's the way it's meant to be I believe?
I have no problem locating a plugged in USB stick, but my USB stick isn't that big.

I have a Samsung N150 Plus.
