You do not need to partition your drive, just search in the internet for the EasyBCD tool,now after sucessfully installing the remix os by the provided method of the creators of remix os in one of your already existed drive for example C: or E:,open the EasyBCD tool and go to the edit boot menu tab found in left side,in that tab see downside,you will find a option wait for user selection,select it and save settings.now reboot and you must be asked for a os to reboot into.
Or just run the official installer?

I have a spare netbook lying around in the house
Can I install Remix OS on it, directly to the hard drive without any kind of dual boot?
Just plain simple remix os?
yeah you can you need to remove the hdd and then install the remix on it using a second computer and then plug that HDD back into the laptop and then u will be able to boot only remix on that laptop ... good luck
It is possible, as I have detailed in my post here. If you need the code for the grub.cfg, check here.
Enjoy Remix OS on your PC!
Its actually easy - All you need to do is boot up gparted - live linux ( i used mint linux off a usb key) - run gparted, format the hd you want as ext3 or ext4, set the boot flag (under manage flags) .. then boot the remix usb key - select resident mode, you have a few seconds to add this at the end of the line INSTALL=1
hit enter.. walk through the installer, done.. once its finished remove the key, boot from HD.

i did pin point exactly what you said to do made sure the hdd was in first boot order, and it keeps saying no operating system found, this is the closest ive gotten to getting this things to work, i have no other os on here and planning to make remix os the main and only one so PLEASE HELP!
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. ;-/
I couldn't tell from the cryptic instructions whether I would end up with a conventional dual boot arrangement if I install remix on my windows 7 hp pro x2 612 touchscreen laptop. I don't want to lose the windows 7. I downloaded what I think is the most recent version Remix_OS_for_PC_Android_M_64bit_B2016101201. Also can I burn the iso to a disc (not usb drive) and use the included windows installer. Will remix boot from the disc so I can check it out on my pc before installing it?
Does remix allow installing conventional linux applications such as full libreoffice or is it limited to google play offerings. Is there a guide anywhere to side loading whatever is needed to get the google play store working. Appreciate any help with all these questions. Thanks so much
@spb37
Installing using the official installer will not do any harm to the Windows 7 installation. If you chose to install on the same partition as Windows, it will be placed in a separate folder and a boot menuentry will be added.
So, yes, you end up with a conventional dual boot arrangement
Remix OS .iso was not designed to work on disc mediums so I do not recommend to try and boot from a disc.
Instead, better use a USB storage Device to test Remix out.
Remix OS is a fork of Android-x86 project (coming from AOSP) so it doesn't have a Linux GUI packages installer. You won't be able to install LibreOffice on it.
Play Store comes pre-installed as long as you select the respective option during first boot.
It depend
i've create one partition and install with INSTALL=1
taking grub not grub 2 saying add one instruction for choose os remix or Windows 7 at the starting up (it had work perfectly with the pc of my friend but not with mine .
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 have referred my problem to this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/remix/remix-os/solution-problems-booting-remix-os-dual-t3466027
However, as the stream 11 has only 32gb internal storage, I tend not to install alng with windows, so I wiped and install the Remix OS alone. When the installation finished, it cannot be reboot and the "_" on the lower left corner. Then I reinstall the Remix OS and choose run Android, it boots into it successfully. The problem is with the Grub config I guess, according to the above post. However, I cannot edit the grub menu and I would like to know how can I edit it while I do not have windows installed, I cannot find a way to do it within Remix OS........cannot even find the grub config by root explorer....... I tried to use the puppy linux in my USB to edit but same, cannot find the grub menu file. Anyone has any thoughts?

Puppy Linux has a program called grub4dos . This is a different version of grub. I have used it before with remix OS /X86. After you install it and reboot. If you do not see remix OS on the main grub screen, check in the advanced category it should be there.
