Running and bios legacy, I installed remix on 3.0 USB and when my pc reboots it goes to a bios flasher utility and says no possible bios file found?
I have a few PCs and Laptops with no OS currently installed plus the HD has limited space so I don't want to waste time and HD space by first installing Windows or Linux and then installing Remix in dual-boot configuration.
There should be a way to install Remix OS on PC with Fresh/Clean Install in Single Boot Configuration
Install as Android-x86

Burn ISO with any tool, the boot to resident mode, before selecting Resident Mode press TAB and delete (SRC= DATA=) to end, then type INSTALL=1

I have a ASUS T100 tablet PC and it has a x86 uefi bootloader. im trying to install remixOS as a standalone OS. after I do your instructions do you need to edit the grub file so it boots (not sure how to do this) and which OS should I use 32 bit or 64 bit? last time I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/win...nt/winapp-android-x86-installer-uefi-t3225748 to install the 64 bit version on my tablet but the new 3.0 OS doesn't work with this tool.

Thanks for the info, I tried this and it installed and booted from the installer menu however when I reboot the PC I find that the Android-x86 installer fails to create a boot partition.
I tried all possible combinations, Grub without EFI, Grub with EFI, both varitions on MBR and GPT, etc. nothing works. Even tried x86 and x64 installations

Try hitting tab
then the spacebar, then put INSTALL=1 press enter it will bring up Android X86 installer for you to format the hard drive and install on to it. This will allow it to boot without the USB drive
When I hit TAB, nothing happens. ;-/
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.

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.
I downloaded Remix Os for 32bit from here mega.nz/#!Eg8QzRLS!xuE3iNiQjfdstQFPT5vvWevbWAuxYn6tMFtpKCF5EIg from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/remix/remix-os/remix-os-pc-hacked-edition-ota-v2-0-201-t3345968 .
But unfortunately I can't launch Remix OS, When I run the `RemixOS Installation Tool` and choose the `RemixOS x86 20160825 TG.iso` file and select the disk, It starts installing, But when it comes to the 2nd step which says "extract and copy files", I get this error "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, Create an associated in the Default Programs control panel."
^screenshot: prnt.sc/lryt5d
I have "RAR" associated with `.iso` file type.
I get folder extracted called "RemixOS", But when I reboot my computer and choose "Remix OS", I get a black screen with Grub bash line, not Remix OS installation.
Also I tried with `EasyBCD`, But again when I reboot the same screen shows up.
I shrinked 16GB from a Hard Disk(Not C and installed Remix OS on that Hard Disk on 32bit Windows 8.1.
How to solve this issue?
