I have installed android x86_64-6.0-r3.iso and have used a virtualbox machine to run the installer, and install the Android OS onto my 64gb Sandisk Ultra Fit USB. When i attempt to boot android on my pc, it comes up with "invalid partition table". But when i boot in another pc with the same bios provider, it boots fine. The file system on the USB is set to ext4.

Hi everyone,
I have a problem with installation of android x 86 on Acer Aspire V3-731. I have ready installed Windows 8.1 and Linux Mint. I have one disk (sda) with 14gb of free space in partition sda11. So I've downloaded .iso of android x86 i doing the bootable usb with unetbootin. I reboot laptop and I chose a Legacy Bios because in Uefi pendrive doesn't boot. I selected install android x86 to harddisk and i saw an error: GPT[...]Use GNU Parted. So i trying to installed android in other pendrive, I selected pendrive, formate to fat32 and installed android, .iso image and I skipped question of installed grub but system doesn't work after reboot. What do i do? When i select to install grub and android in pendrive, i substitute linux/windows grub? It doesn't work because Linux and Windows working under Uefi?

Have you tried formatting your destination drive with ext3 format? Also, choose yes for grub during install, and choose 'do not format'. Use third party formatting tool, like MiniTool from your Windows to prepare the destination disk.
Good Luck
If I install android in pendrive and also install grub. Do I replace windows/linux grub or bootloader?

As long as Android x-86 is concerned, I have been formatting and installing it for the last 2 weeks in a row. With a quest to sort just one mission out and it seems impossible to achieve....
You have created a tricky question to answer. You have a Windows computer, and have a Linux Mint (that's dual boot). And atm you are in quest of Android
Well with my recent experience, installing Android on 149GB external disk, using USB key drive as installer, I have had no issues with the system boot. It does not interfere.
However, a little while ago I did the same thing trying to install Ubuntu on internal disk, and it seems that it has created an entry in the Boot Options in BIOS. I don't know how to get rid of that, and it does not bother me anyways.
Secure or fast boot should take you straight to Windows when you don't want USB boot. To be on a safe side, prepare a Windows USB recovery disk, create Restore points, do back ups and cross your fingers.... just remember it is a risk you choose to take, and disasters do happen Just don't curse me please ...
I wan't to install android in pebdrive.

This is a working usb install media creator method for os remix installation and legacy bios circumventing all known errors made for noobs including USING full drive internal storage space etc.
You will be able to use this usb stick for future creation of other usb install media
you will have the choice to also install to hard drive
you will need 2 x usb drives and require drive write speed to be higher than 10 mb/s
the first drive will be the installer drive and the second will be the actual usb drive used to run remix os.
For first drive basic fat 32 install you will need rufus 2.9 usb boot media creator
after creation of the installer drive keep it safe i reccommend you use a 4gb drive $4/£2 off ebay but get something thats got a write speed higher than 10 mb/s or else install will fail!
Format the second drive to your liking ext 4 for example on your pc with minitool partition or acronis disk manager (make sure the drive is formatted as primary and set to active flag)
1. Create fat 32 usb boot disk with first usb drive and rufus 2.9 and the remix os iso
2.make sure after creation you boot up the usb drive and enter remix os then shutdown and boot it up again to write all config files
3.make sure you dont boot up the ufi version of the boot up, only use the legacy version (it will have ufi next to boot drive in bios usb boot up list)
4.after you enter remix os go to settings and download the update (ota) (this is the main fix)(if this update fails you cannot proceed further with instructions)
5. After ota update reboot and enter remix os again and let android upgrade
6.after this stage is complete your fat32 remix os usb bootable drive is ready to create a usb drive that runs remix os from the drive itself.
7.insert the second drive in a usb hub and boot up the computer with both drives in the computer and boot from the first drive (the usb remix os installer drive)
8.boot up and at the grub boot menu (it should look blue with yellow writing not the black ufi version) press tab and type: INSTALL=1
9. then press enter then you will enter you will enter usb media creation menu select scan usb drives and select the second drive (the remix os running drive)
10. It will ask you what you want to format the drive as so select do not format option (becus you already formatted it)
11.then it will ask you to install first grub boot menu say yes
12. Then it will ask you to install second boot grub efi menu say yes
13. Next it will ask you if you want to format the boot partition or something like that say *** no ***
14. Then it will ask you if you want read/write privelage say yes
15. It will proceed to write the remix os onto the drive
16. When finished it will ask to restart (at this point i just switch the pc off by holding power button then restart and boot off the new second drive to run the os from it already upgraded too)
note: If wanting ntfs version of remix os then its a little complicated than this and you will need to use imgtools to increase the data.img file on the ntfs drive after creation with the first usb media creator drive.
The remix os ota update addresses the boot media creation errors. After the ota update all drives created with the grub menu installer boot up as they should but only ufi boot up option hangs!
Hope this helps hit the thanks dont forget so i know how many people were helped by this! enjoy.
I have the ative pc pro xe700t1c the uk version with intel core i5 quad core and its also a convertible tablet with msata ssd as hdd drive and as you all probbaly know android was created for fast flash memory and linux format os so the best combination is an ssd and ext4 linux file format. I have a 64gb 544 mb/s msata drive in a usb 3.0 enclosure which i use to boot remix os and run it off it. Its perfectly smooth and fast enough and the ativ pc pro convertible laptop/tablet is fully compatible hadware software wise, no problems at all.
I dont know what i am doing wrong. I have followed every step carefully still when i select usb option in boot menu it says " missing operating system_". nobody have this issue. my pendrive is sandisk ultra 32GB usb 3.0. please someone help if some have faced such issue.
format to ext4 and use unetbootin to install

Hi all, using a Samsung ativ pc pro xe700t1c-a04uk
dual boot: Windows 10 pro / android remix os 3.0
screen 11.6 full hd 1080p
cpu intel core i5-3317u quad core
ram 4gb
gpu intel hd 4000 (128mb dedicated)
hdd 256gb msata ssd
I run remix os 3.0 from a 64GB 544/MBs msata drive in a usb 3.0 enclosure.
Very fast system. Everything working including apps and games and all hardware (touchpen/touchscreen/gyro/accele/light/nfc/otg/gamepad/cam/mic/sound/gfx/etc).
Problem: Its not a major problem but the screen dimming or brightness control dosent work and thats the only problem.
The samsung ative pc pro xe700t1c is by far the most superior convertible laptop/tablet in the world!
Request to developers:
Can you please implement the sim function for internet and calling. Also can you please implement a gamepad configuration menu just like the keyboard config menu?
Thank you very much for all the good stuff remix team.

Its perfectly smooth and fast enough 5 secs to boot and the ativ pc pro convertible laptop/tablet is fully compatible hadware software wise, no problems at all. The 5 year old Ativ pc pro gets 119,000+ score in antutu benchmark same as the latest LG G5 with the latest adreno 530 gpu/snapdragon 820 cpu which costs approx £600 now in retail!!! I bought the Ativ pc pro convertible laptop/tablet for only £200 two weeks ago with accessories (ethernet dock etc) worth alone £100 on its own off ebay!!! On top of all that its also a windows 10 pro convertible laptop/tablet system which on its own without android was initially worth £1200 five years ago and still costing approx £500 even now in retail. So what im trying to say here is that for only £200 i get a £600 android 6.0 laptop/tablet and i also get a £500 windows 10 pro laptop tablet ALL IN ONE. Muahahahahahaha haaaaa hahahaha kekekeke.

I think you did wrong this step:
"13. Next it will ask you if you want to format the boot partition or something like that say *** no ***"
if that was your mistake its not bad,there are few ways to get back your windows bootloader. not sure but if you repeat the steps 7-16 maybe at step 13 you'll get windows in grub bootlist...not sure about this, but you can try...nothing to lose.

it didn't happed while following this tutorial....
i was trying to setup a dual boot using easyBCD. I ended up with one option in windows boot manager that is remix os. Remix os is also not booting. help me getting that windows 10 option back...
take at the attachment :crying:
After installing I get the prompt to reboot or start remix. I choose start remix and it works (except sound but I think that is expected).
After I shutdown and switch back on it does not boot. I am greeted with a grub> prompt.
Does anyone know how I can get remix to boot and automatically boot?
Thanks
Needs more info.. hardware, installed from (usb ?) , installed where (Ext4/sda? ) , What version of RemixOS
First thought : Sound like.. you installed RemixOS on your USBstick?
Cheers
It is a linx1010b tablet (Intel Atom Z3735F - sound does not work in remix though, 32 bit eufi bios but 64bit cpu). I am sure I have installed to hard drive as the USB drive does not flash when loading remix.
I have tried installing several times and even unplugged USB after installing and remix boots. I have tried several partition schemes efi 300mb and the rest as Linux. Nothing appears to help. The remix partition options does not appear to allow setting of boot partition though if that matters.
I insert USB stick (downloaded image couple of days ago) and change boot option so install=1. As USB stick is 8gb and internal drive is 32gb I can tell I have the internal drive due to when partitioning it detects as 29gb.
Any ideas? Thanks
Perhaps.. (bootia32.efi)

Good Morning,
When i am using the USB tool provided with the remix os PC download, i always get the message "Missing operating system"
Even when using Rufus to extract the iso to the same USB drive, it boots but then hangs on the remix os logo on both resident and guest, I left it for well over an hour and still wont boot.
The USB drive is 8gb (but also the same on 32gb drives), I format as fat32, even delete all partitions and create a new one using minitool partition wizard.
I have tried to search for an answer to this but only seems to get references to ubuntu, which then refer to using rufus or formatting as fat32 first, which i have just tried.
Any thoughts/suggestions?
Thanks
