[Q] Kali Linux Install In Linux Deploy: Checking mount points . . . fail - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
I recently installed the Linux Deploy app on my rooted S3 but when I attempt to install Kali Linux using Linux Deploy I come across this problem:
Code:
>>> begin: install
Checking mount points . . . fail
Press STOP and repeat attempt.
<<< end: install
I have checked my root and tried different install directories including an external OTG USB flash drive.
If anyone has any ideas or is able to assist with my problem that would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Dylan

[Q] Electrify, ADB, and Windows 8

I'm trying to get adb to detect my Electrify on Windows 8, it would seem rooting and/or installing ROMs is impossible without adb, I have my phone plugged in and all the drivers installed except one "Motorola ADB Interface" of course. The manual driver installer errors out on "Cannot detect Operating System" is there anyway around this, either forcing the driver in, or not using ADB to root?
Use a linux live cd and install the android sdk, or use something like vmware, or try to extract the driver and force it to install in device manager, or dual boot an os that isnt in beta...
Sent from my MB855
The linux live cd should actually work I didnt think about that
I found this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741824
It says its for use with HTC phones but could it possibly work with mine?
Its a year and a half old
Will the driver for my phone be installed/available?
I would post this there but its kind of a dead thread
If you have a spare thumb drive of 4gb or larger laying around you can do a persistent install of ubuntu (or just about any other distro) using LinuxLive USB Creator, which can be found here: http://www.linuxliveusb.com/
If you're not very familiar with linux, persistence is like having your linux operating system on a thumb drive with the advantage over a live cd being that any changes you make (such as installations or saved files) are not lost upon shutdown. So you could install the android sdk (which is all you should need) and then whenever you needed it you could just boot from your thumb drive. If you need help setting up (such as installing the sdk and setting the path and what not) let me know.

I rooted my phone and I don't know how to fix this error.

An Operating system wasn't found.

1) i downloaded 64bit remix os for my pc
2) i did everything correctly and i followed the guide in the installation video
3) i installed it on my hard drive from my flash drive
And installed the OS and then the PC booted up. I chose remix OS, And booted into remix and i tried to install the play store activator thing and in the guide it said to reboot is needed and so i did and now i have this error An operating system was not found

Someone help me I need my laptop to work on essays
This is ancient but comes up high in google search so I'll answer it.
The problem is that the bootable partition on the USB drive is not marked "active".
If you're running Windows, the solution is
- insert USB drive
- launch Computer Management (e.g. click Start button and type it, or compmgmt.msc)
- select Storage/Disk Management on left pane
- right click on the "Android-x86" partition and select "Mark Partition as Active"
