[QUESTION] Booting Remix OS BETA on a 32 bit LEGACY OS - Remix OS for PC

I am not a computer expert but I have an old laptop sitting around that I would love to run Remix OS on but I'm still fuzzy with the process.It would be great id you guys could help me out. I have downloaded the 32 bit OS from the site and have it on a flash drive. My Laptop is running Windows 7 , Legacy Boot 32 bit and i want to run Remix OS from the hard drive itself.
1.
Do I just run the installation tool from the pen drive and it takes care of everything?
OR
Do I have to create a partition first under a hard drive and then run the installation tool and select the new partition?
2.
Is Remix OS working with 32 bit Legacy computers?

Hi
you could do it almost like installing windows
If you want to install as only OS you will need to boot from a USB (F8 or F12) with Remix pre-installed and do what in thread steps 1 and 4 and 5 and 6, and it should work
# Use provided .exe after extract file from step 1 to install Remix OS on USB
This may help

I Cant install or Run Remix OS 2 BETA on my PC!!!

Hello everyone,
I am having trouble with the new version of Remix OS 2 Beta.
I am running a 64 bit machine, and downloaded the correct version. I used the installation tool (not the original usb tool, but the one that allows you to install to the C drive) and it appeared that everything was installed correctly "BUT". When i boot i get the two options (Windows 10, Remix OS). I choose the Remix OS option, and it gives me an error (remixos/kernel error). So, i did some research and it says that the os might not recognize that i have a 64 bit machine. I then proceeded with the same installation but 32 bit this time since it should allow me to use that version if i have a 64 bit machine right? It allows me to boot, but then stays in limbo on the ASUS boot screen until i restart. any suggestions.
Have the same exact issue. Are you booting with legacy or efi

Take the intrid.img from the Android x86 project of 5.1.1 and replace that on the usb before install. Worked for me. Rinning Beta 64bit now wheni could only run 32bit before.

Run it off the USB. When option comes for resident or guest hit tab and add to the line (or e for edit) INSTALL=1
I have a 64 bit machine and it installed fine. I don't think I had to change any setting from the installer. Wouldn't work with the alpha but the beta installed and booted right up. When it was installing there was like an 8 minute timeframe where it seemed it wasn't doing anything and my monitor (an hd tv) was getting no signal but I just let it keep running and finally it came back on and it booted right up. I installed to the harddrive also btw.
Thank you all for your feed back. I will try some of your suggestions in the morning. I didn't think I would get a response this fast haha. Thanks again for now.

I tried both ways and and with efi just got the kernel issue. It seems that everything installed correctly but when I choose remix OS it tries to boot and I get the remixos/kernel error
This sounds exactly the same issue than I have with Dell Venue 11 pro (7140). It has Windows 10 installed and secure boot is disabled in BIOS. I can select Remix OS in boot menu but then the following errors are displayed Remix OS doesn't start:
error: 'ntfs' is already loaded.
error: 'exfat' is already loaded.
error: no such device: /RemixOS/kernel.
error: file '/RemixOS/kernel' not found.
error: you need to load the kernel first.

Yes this is my issue exactly. I hope this is only a minor bug, because I realise we are still in beta and all devices won't work the same. Please is there anyone who can help us with this???

I had this error, turned out Bitlocker was enabled and preventing the install from starting on restart.

OK maybe this will work. I'll try it in the morning thanks for the tip.
So far nothing I have tried all of your guys suggestions and have had no luck. Maybe this version was released too early, because it seems like this is a major bug

If you would share some info with us, we might be able to provide a fix :
In Windows, open Run dialog. (Windows key pressed + r)
Type msinfo32 and enter.
You'll see a lot of information, please list the following :
1. System type
2. Processor
3. Bios mode
4. Platform Role
5. Secure boot state
6. Installed Physical Memory (Ram)
7. Total Physical Memory.
Also tell which version of beta you used. 32-bit or 64-bit?

You have as 64-bit capable CPU, as detailed on http://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-Atom-Z3736F-Tablet-SoC.122214.0.html
So 64-bit beta should work for you. Don't know why 32-bit UEFI systems have this issue.
However I'll inform you as soon as I update my Grub2Win guide.

Remix OS not showing up in the windows 10 boot menu (on a dual boot system win/linux)

Hi there i am running an older computer with windows 10/manjaro linux kde (dual boot), and installed Remix Os as shown in the tutorial provided by jide, but when i reboot the machine and choose win 10 it boots straight into win 10.
So it doesn´t show any OS selection screen...
The folder is in C: and it seems to be installed... So no idea what is happening.
I tried both the 32 and the 64 beta´s but no luck... What am i missing here guys? Is my machine not capable of running Remix OS?
Specs:
Motherboard: ASUS M4A785-M
CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) II X3 450
Gfx card: Nvidia 9600GT

You could have asked me
Boot into your Linux, IN your system drive, you'll find a folder named boot. There must be a folder named grub inside it. And inside it, there would be a grub.cfg file

Error 15 menu.lst not found

When Remix OS Beta launched a day ago, i tried installing to my hard drive and get this:
Code:
find --set-root --ignore-floppies /menu.lst
error 15:File Not Found
Press any key to continue . . .
My PC Specs are:
HP Pavilion G7-1338DX
Intel Core i3-2350M (2nd gen Sandy Bridge)
8 GB RAM
Intel HD Graphics 3000
Windows 8.1 Pro
If possible, please find a method to fix. I really enjoyed Remix OS until this happened. And I don't want it installed on my flash drive because of it's speeds.
I use the old USB installation method with new beta .ISO on USB flash drive and copy to hard-disk .then Use easyBCD to add remix boot menu... Work fine now.

Google for "[GUIDE] RemixOS Beta + Windows Dual Boot (Simple and Error free)" click on the first result (i.e Google Groups).. I think you should try that tutorial.

Has your Registry become corrupted?
Are there missing or damaged system and driver files?
Are you experiencing Disk metadata corruption? MBR, partition table, and boot sector
Or File system metadata corruption?
Having issues installing problem or incompatible drivers?
Installation of Windows service packs and patches coming back with incompatible errors?
Corrupt boot configuration data?
Bad memory and hard disk hardware errors? Detection only

"Installation Failed" error from Remix install tool on MSI Windows 8.1 PC.

OS: Windows 8.1 Pro 64 Bit
Motherboard: MSI Z97-X-Power AC
BIOS: UEFI
Secure Boot: OFF
Remix OS ISO: Remix_OS_for_PC_Android_M_64bit_B2016101201
Remix OS install tool: Remix_OS_for_PC_Installation_Tool-B2016080802
I am having trouble installing Remix OS on my MSI PC.
Every time I attempt to install Remix OS on my PC using the install tool, it ends with "Installation Failed" error. The install tool seems to successfully copy files to the specified partition. But the problem seems to occur when it attempts to install the bootloader.
I mounted the boot partition & checked it. In all my attempts at running the install tool, it never adds anything to the boot drive.
Please note, I am using a fresh installation of Windows 8.1. There are no security programs installed. Windows Defender is disabled. I have attempted installation using the built-in Administrator account, so there should be no permissions issues.
Can anyone tell me how to manually add the GRUB bootloader manually? I want to achieve what I have with my laptop (GRUB displaying "Windows/Remix OS"...and then Windows Boot Manager loads).

I've got the very exactly same problem like you. It installs all filles but when installing or configure the bootloader in Step 3, it fails...
I use a Asus laptop with Intel Core i3 and Windows 10.
I've send an E-Mail to the support with Images of the Installer failure and when they are replying to me and I solved this proplem too, I will let you know

I am also finding the installation failing at the point of installing bootloader. Would appreciate any help you can give.
same for me on my windows qp chinese tablet. Any workaround yet?
I had the same problem. I solved it by doing the following.
First, i tried installing some "Remix OS for PC Hacked Edition", and to my surprise, it worked. The OS boot selection, and the OS both worked well.
Then, I tried installing the original Remix OS again, with the normal method, I selected not to delete my data, and there was no error this time. I'm using it right now
