Android for my Acer Aspire One

Hi,

This message is X-posted to alt.comp.hardware & comp.mobile.android.

My Acer Aspire One netbook no longer boots. In one case I blame 
Microsoft. I used update on my Win7 partition and now, no matter what I 
do, I end up with a blue screen. In another case, I messed up the 
drivers on the WinXP partition. I had graduated to a faster SDXC card 
and I tried to remove an unwanted device driver and I was not careful. 
It is the same story for the WinXP partition, blue screen.

My 2008 Acer Aspire One is a nice piece of hardware: three USB ports, 
two SD ports, Ethernet, a 600x1024 screen & an Intel Atom CPU. It now 
has 1.5 GB RAM installed. It originally came with an 8 GB Intel Z-P230 
SSD system drive that was sadly deficient. I have replaced that with a 
nominally 32 GB SuperTalent SSD, that is pretty solid. That much storage 
allowed me to partition and dual boot WinXP and Win7.

Now that Windows only gives a blue screen, wisdom dictates that I keep 
the hardware and throw away Windows. I have a couple of different Linux 
that boot from partitions on an external USB HHD, but Linux is not the 
answer. Like Windows, I think Android thrives on an internal system drive.

Readers comments on installing Android on my x86 Acer netbook are most 
welcome. I know that x86 versions of Android are out there but I am 
hoping for some high numbers like KitKat 4.4, or whatever.

Help me please with an ISO URL.
