You made it the default os, thats the problem. If you can get an app which can change the boot sequence from remix os, than you can fix it without the recovery disk, otherwise you will need the recovery disk. I am saying all this assuming you have actually installed remix os on your harddisk. If your booting remix os from a usb, remove the usb before booting up your pc
more info would be nice...like how and where you installed remix os.
if on the same hdd but different partition, i m sure you replaced the windows bootloader.
if on another hdd, try going into the boot menu during post and select the different hdd and see.

Remix OS is supposed to use the blue Windows Boot Manager, correct?
But on my Windows tablet (Lenovo Miix 700), I always get a gray boot screen which asks me to choose "Windows" or "Remix OS".
If I select "Windows", then it will load the blue Windows Boot Manager screen (without the Remix OS option).
Can anyone explain what's going wrong?
How can I force Remix OS to use the actual Windows Boot Manager?
The reason I want the actual Windows Boot Manager is because it's easy to customize the countdown timer & boot preference. With the current gray boot screen, I can only edit the timer by mounting my boot partition & editing complicated files.
OS: Windows 10 Pro x64
Bios: UEFI with Secure Boot & Fast Boot disabled.
Remix OS version: Latest (3.0.207)
Installation method: Remix OS For PC "Installation Tool" (16 gb chosen, targetted to 20 gb NTFS partition, drive letter "R:" assigned)
Okay, I discovered the solution. You can read the quoted posts below. It is not possible to add Remix OS as an option in the Windows Boot Manager...if the Windows OS was installed in UEFI.
I don't know why this isn't made more public.
I wasted so many days trying all sorts of experiments, and thinking something was wrong with my system.

UEFI WBM can't load anything other than windows bootloader; so it can't chainload grub2. It does however see any /efi folder as a seperate UEFI [usb] device.

If Windows was installed in BIOS mode, you get the Windows boot menu which is touch compatible, but if Windows was installed in UEFI mode, then the Windows boot menu can't be used to load non-Windows operating systems (thanks Microsoft) and so you get the non-touch grub boot menu. Annoying, I know, and it's the reason I ended up rebuilding my Lenovo Thinkpad Helix in BIOS mode, despite the slower boot process.

I have a REALLY old laptop. 1.6ghz single core with 2gb of ram. Currently it has linux on it, but I want something a bit snappier. So I want to try out remix OS but I don't want it on my main PC (Windows Gaming Machine). This old laptop has USB ports but in the bios it doesn't have the option to boot from a USB. So, how would I go about creating a DVD installation disk.

Try extracting the .img and burning it with Brasero or an equivelant.
PLoP Boot Manager 5.0.10: A small program to boot different operating systems harddisk, floppy, CD/DVD or from USB, it can boot from an USB/CD/DVD even without BIOS support (Linux Freeware).
So, if your device has a floppy..then create a floppy with plop boot manager
or burn plop boot manger to CD (its also on hirens bootcd)
*then connect you USB stick with remixos... boot plop from floppy or CD
**Choose Boot from USB...and remixos..should start
goodluck
You can simply burn the installation iso image to DVD (using some option like "Burn iso image" of your burning app) and boot from it. I have installed Remix this way on a very new board which supports booting from USB, but the installation via USB was unusable.
Hey guys, I looked for this answer everywhere and I dont find. After install Remix OS on my laptop, my windows wont boot. On the screen for choose the OS I got 3 options: Windows, Remix OS and Remix OS Advanced Option.
When I click on windows, a black scrren blink and then returns to the OS options screen, I cant go after this black screen on windows, but RemixOS boot normally.
My question is: can I create a bootable usb pendrive of windows with some app on remix os? Is my only option right now, only pc in home...
Getting into the recovery mode wont work too on my Asus Laptop, tryed all.
Thanks
Only PC at home?
You need to boot to WinPE or a live Windows CD similar to that and run something like EasyBCD or another Utility that can manage your BCD in Windows to fix it and make it boot properly. Without another PC though I'm not sure that You can do it. Also I don't know that you can do it in Android x86.
If you press F8 quickly when closing windows does it get you to the recovery options? If you can boot to windows is recovery mode you can repair your BCD with the right commands.
I believe that the BCD needs to be edited, you need to choose the drive where windows is installed for the Windows entry. This is easy with EasyBCD which is a windows utility. It's possible that remix created a backup of your BCD file too. In that case you just need to restore it and this You can do in remix OS since it lets you browse your Windows files with something like ES File Explorer.
However restoring your original BCD file will get rid of the Remix OS boot entry.
Normally your Windows partition will be the C: drive and your BCD will be under c:\boot which is a hidden folder. However in a lot of cases there is a small bootable partition that is 500 Megs or so, this is where the hidden \boot folder is located. The one that has the BCD file. In that folder there might be a BCD.bak file that could be the backup file that remix OS might have created.
