Install Fdisk by executing the following commands in Xterminal:
 +
<pre>
 +
root
 +
mkdir -p /home/user/util-linux /home/user/bin
 +
cp /home/user/MyDocs/util-linux_2.13.1.1-1_armel.deb /home/user/util-linux
 +
cd /home/user/util-linux

dpkg-deb -x util-linux_2.13.1.1-1_armel.deb root
 +
cp root/sbin/fdisk /home/user/bin/
 +
cd ..
 +
rm -rf util-linux
 +
</pre>
 +
</li>
 +
<li>
 +
Unmount designated partition (./MyDocs):
 +
<pre>
 +
umount /home/user/MyDocs
 +
</pre>
 +
</li>
 +
<li>
 +
Launch Fdisk:
 +
<pre>
 +
/home/user/bin/fdisk /dev/mmcblk0
 +
</pre>
 +
</li>
 +
<li>
 +
Print your current partition table:
 +
<pre>
 +
p
 +
</pre>
 +
This table should show up:
 +
<pre>
 +
      Device Boot      Start        End      Blocks  Id  System
 +
/dev/mmcblk0p1              2      884865    28315648    c  W95 FAT32 (LBA)

 +
/dev/mmcblk0p3          950402      974977      786432  82  Linux swap / Solaris

Delete partition 1 (./MyDocs):
 +
<pre>
 +
d
 +

 +
</pre>
 +
<li>
 +
Create new re-sized primary partition:

 +
First cylinder: 2
 +
Last cylinder: 800000

Point of no return - writing the table and syncing:
 +
<pre>
 +
w
 +
reboot
 +
</pre>
 +
</li>
 +
<li>
 +
Ignore any errors. After the reboot, return ./MyDocs back and format the new NITDroid partition by executing these:
 +
<pre>
 +
root
 +
/home/user/bin/fdisk /dev/mmcblk0
 +
t
 +
1
 +
0c
 +
w
 +
umount /dev/mmcblk0p1
 +
mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/mmcblk0p1
 +
mke2fs -L NITDroid -j -m0 /dev/mmcblk0p5
 +
reboot
 +
</pre>
 +
If your device still has a flash memory on it, then lift your shoulders up as the hard part is gone!
 +
<li>
 +
Install Nitdroid on the new partition:
 +
<pre>
 +
apt-get update
 +
apt-get install nitdroid-installer
 +
mkdir -p /and
 +
mount -o noatime,rw /dev/mmcblk0p5 /and
 +
cd /home/user/MyDocs
 +
rm -rf /and/*
 +
bzcat Nitdroidarchivename.tar.bz2 | tar xvC /and
 +
dpkg -i nitdroid-kernel-2.6.28-07_rc4_armel.deb
 +
reboot
 +
</pre>

==== Trouble Booting NITDroid ====
 +
 +
 +
If you cannot boot into NITDroid because of an error like this one:
 +
 +
"Root Filesystem mmcblk1p5 missing"
 +
Guru Meditation 0000025...etc
 +
 +
 +
Try following:
 +
 +
Edit /etc/multiboot.d/11-NITDroid-mmcblk0p5-*.item with an editor of your choice (eg. nano).
 +
<pre>
 +
apt-get install nano
 +
nano /etc/multiboot.d/11-NITDroid-mmcblk0p5-2.6.28.NIT.07.item  #check filename!
 +
</pre>
 +
 +
And change the line ITEM_DEVICE={INT_CARD}p5 to:
 +
<pre>
 +
ITEM_DEVICE=mmcblk0p5
 +
</pre>
 +
 +
reboot with opened keyboard and try to start NITDroid.
