If you're running Windows 10 : https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
Download, make a USB stick of the Windows 10 installation
Put USB stick in your Surface Pro 3
Before powering on the Surface, hold down the Vol Down button, press power to turn it on, when the SURFACE logo pops up, let go of the Vol Down button to access your USB.
Follow the steps from Xkirnel99's post.
Didn't work
I tried booting with the USB and entering those entries into the command prompt twice but I'm still getting the same error when I try to boot into Windows
Same problem here, any new info?
Just a question that I have. Are you using GRUB Bootloader to choose between the OSes or are you using Windows GUI Bootloader? If you are using GRUB, press "c" when you enter the GRUB Menu and copy the code that you see here.

Check if you are using Legacy or UEFI BIOS Mode. If you are using UEFI, try making a bootable USB using Rufus set to "GPT partition for UEFI" and FAT32. Now, try running the commands after booting from it.
Using the grub boot loader, I can acess both os through the bios, but not the grab.
Working
I couldn't figure out how to get into Windows that way but I put a Android x86 boot USB and selected windows from that and it worked. Then I reinstalled windows without loosing files and that got rid of grub and it boots normally now
please help me i have same problem!!

Hello there,
I was trying to boot up Remix OS but was facing some problems.
When I try to install Resident Mode or Guest Mode, it says -
Code:
Checking Data Partition....
ANDROID
And it gets stuck there.
I am running Windows 10 Pro 64-bit at the moment. Anyway I can install?
Check Your PC Legacy Or EFi, Choose ISO according to your PC.
Disable secure boot in bios setting.
If you boot via pendrive so format pendrive format 32

Can you boot in to guest mode? If successfull, when you boot in Resident mode, the Os have to create a data file which contains apps and setting. Please wait for 5 min, after that you will boot into Remix Os.
android os takes a lot of time in the first boot and this os some kind of big so you'll need to wait buddy

Oh, I've been waiting for 30 hrs xD
I have the same issue. I run a computer with intel i5 and a nvidia 970. I read somewhere that remix OS has hard time with nvidia graphic cards at the moment
Same here with a AMD E350 Netbook

Do you know how to load BIOS?
Sent from my on Z00A using XDA Labs
No I have not played on computers since the amstrad PC lol I will need to be walked trough
I get this if I try e and the other if I hit c...
NOTE for UEFI boot: press special key (F12 for Dell, F9 for HP, F12 for Lenovo, Option Key for MAC) while booting to enter boot menu and ensure that Secure Boot is disabled.
When you turn on the pc, hold down the f12 key on top righ of the keyboard. You should get a different menu. Try it and tell me if you do and what is in the menu

Your manual says: Press Fn + F12 (when HotKey Mode is set to Enabled) or
F12 (when HotKey Mode is set to Disabled) when the
Lenovo logo appears on the screen while the computer is
starting up to select the device you want the computer start.

Without pressing f12 I get this screen but as my first post shows in my pictures I cannot boot in Windows or remix
I cannot post the video I made. Do you have another way I could send it to you?

I have a Dell Laptop running windows 10 and boots via UEFI. I have installed Remix OS beta (64 bit version) several times on the HDD using the Remix program available when downloading from their website. Apart from one occasion only, Remix usually hung and I remained patient, waiting for a version that would work. That happened with the latest version (2.0.403) i.e Remix finally works and the OS boots up normally. However (as is usually the case with life in general) whilst Remix works, when selecting windows from the Grub loader it says that it cannot find the path to windows and I cannot boot into windows. I appreciate that this is a Android forum but this problem is specific to Remix I think and some entry in the grub loader and as such I turn to this forum in case anyone has any ideas so that I can fix the grub loader or whatever and be able to boot into windows - I am of course happy that I can boot into Remix but I also still need my windows!
Thanks a lot in advance
Andrew
did you installed them in 2 separate hard drive?
and your computer use bios or uefi.
if it is uefi you should check if the old windows boot loader is still here.
and if it is 2hdd you should boot directly to windows hard drive. by changing your boot settings.

Thanks. They are on 1 hdd and it is UEFI. I don't know how to check if old boot loader is there but I have tried the repair option on the windows CD/USB including repair MBR without any luck. So I think the old boot loader is gone and replaced by Grub.

to see if the bootloader is still here you should go to your uefi and boot option.
it is generaly holding del while booting to acces it.
you should see in boot windows boot loader and grub.
you should be able to switch them
if your windows installation is not gone.

Thanks. On the Dell laptop it is F12 and there is an option under UEFI BOOT to choose Windows Boot Manager but selecting this goes to the Grub Loader. I need somehow to edit the Grub loader to point it back to where windows is residing unless Remix has deleted the windows partition??

Many thanks although this did not work. Clearly something went wrong when Remix was installed but I cannot understand what exactly. Anyway, I feel that I should not trouble this forum further since it seems like a problem now more to do with a corrupted Windows or Grub Boot loader issue than a Android issue. What I was hoping in particular was that someone had had the same issue after installing Remix and how therefore they dealt with it but it doesn't seem that this is the case. Looks like I am the only (un)lucky one!
Thanks again
Andrew

UPDATE: I placed a Windows 7 installation disk in the laptop and turned it on (as I had read that trying to use the bootfix from a USB may not work). The laptop then started to boot windows 10 normally and by-passed the Grub loader! I cannot explain how this is possible but once Windows booted I uninstalled Remix. I rebooted and the Grub loader was gone. I then installed Remix 3 (as I am a sucker for punishment) and the new Grub loader works fine - the laptop now boots into Windows & Remix!
Thanks for those who replied

So, I done this again, I was trying to install remix os. Since my pen drive was full of documents and the spare one was not at home, I tried installing it on my hdd and now I'm ****ed. I did it the "unofficial" was using easybcd 2.3 .
The whole process is given below. 1 - made a 18 gb partition. 2 - copied content of the iso into the drive. 3 - made a new entry in easybcd. 4 - rebooted pc and the problem started,
The problem is that I don't get the option to choose between Windows or remix os. I can't boot from my windows disk because the keyboard is not recognized by the system. Can't choose between guest or resident mode. Since my keyboArd is not working, it boots into residence more after 20-30 seconds. It gets struck on the remix os logo. Been there since then.
Don't known what to do, maybe have to take my system to an engineer.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks !
Hmm..
Thats wierd... I tried the easybcd options ones or twice..
If you add boot ISO.. then your first default boot should still be Windows
Perhaps a different Keyboard? its win8... So a mouse should work if you have the metro bootloader
Anyway... If you have Windows Install Disk... you can use Recovery console..
https://neosmart.net/wiki/recovering-windows-bootloader/
A better/quicker? solution.. Hirens Bootcd.. Mini WinXP... then edit BCEdit
But whats your hardware?
Can you access grub? When you get option quest/resisdend Try hitting keyboard : Tab (try adding DEBUG=1 to boot parameter)
Goodluck..
Thanks but
Thanks for the reply. But the problem is that I can't access grub. My keyboard doesn't work when I'm at choosing whether I want to use best mode or residence mode. I wait for 30 seconds and then it automatically boots into residence mode. When the remix os logo appears my keyboard starts working. I can turn on caps and num lock. But what's the use of it ? Also, I have a p/s 2 keyboard. I have asked my father to bring a usb keyboard. If that works , I would boot into guest mode that seems to be working for other people. I would also try changing the default boot system to Windows.
hello there
i cant load my window anybody can help or got thread this already?
my remixOS fine to use but
at boot menu i choose window nothing happen just black screen a sec and back to boot menu :crying:
(my english grade D sorry)
Is there no text at all on the screen, before it goes back to the boot menu? If so, then you will probably need to boot from a Windows rescue CD or Windows install CD, and then from there you will be able to repair the Master Boot Record.

If you don't have a CD drive in your computer, you can instead use a Recovery USB. You'd need to use a working Windows computer to create it, as described here. Then you'll need to run the "bootrec.exe /fixmbr" command as described here.
If you get stuck, you might go to the forums at sevenforums.com, eightforums.com, or tenforums.com where you can get some good assistance.
