   And one more option - if you have a really old Android   
   phone, or you have some strange modern one that I   
   bought (but can't identify), it has the ability to present   
   the user storage as a FAT-32 disk - and may or may not   
   have an MBR - I think I've seen both - I deliberately made   
   a change to PDOS when I found this situation of no MBR -   
   and I think the case where I had an MBR was when I was   
   using an SD card rather than the internal storage - and   
   you can connect it to your PC with a cable and boot from it.
