Has any been able to dual boot these two? If you have do you have a guide you can point me too. Last time i tried dual booting two windows versions it messed up the boot manager and i couldn't boot into my main. I don't want to make this mistake haha.

Seems easy enough. New simple Boot Manager in Windows 8
I dual booted with win7 & the developer preview with no issue, so consumer preview should be fine, just don't try and install it onto the same partition. Windows will sort the rest

I tried installing Live Android on a USB for my Acer Aspire netbook running Win 7 Starter but i can't figure out how to make it run from the USB drive?
Any help would be appreciated.

To boot it, i'm guess you have to get to the BIOS screen. (i'm not too sure, err).
Try pressing F12, and then you should see a black screen, gray letters. (not sure how its setup on WIN7).
It should be an option to boot from the Flash Drive/Removable disk. Let me know how it works out.

I'm testing out the setup now. I know for linux, they do dual boots at the startup screen, asking you would you like to boot linux or windows.
I'm guessing when you install it, it might ask for a dual-boot or delete the windows partition and make android your OS. I'll test it out on my computer first. Then i'll report back to you.
I've done it just change the option to boot off external
It just boots from that and then when its unplugged it boots nornally

I booted it on a Virtual Machine but anyway, there's no option to install therefore once you restart your computer, it'll boot your normal OS. No worries.
bump...............
Did this on my desktop and also created a VM.
i'm stuck on live android splash screen..............acer aspire 1 w win 7 starter
For those who cant boot to usb due to bios constrictions I found a way around it with this boot manager that has a Run from CD with an ISO file and it works flawlessly.
I might also point to similar thread here although OPs is older there is a lot of other useful info that might be helpful as well.
Guys ... check this out. http://www.android-x86.org/
I'm tested. 80% of the devices is working, except WiFi.

Ok so I will make this short. I got a computer with Windows 8 on it and I decided to dual boot it. When I did Ubuntu booted and I looked with Gparted to see if windows is still there and it said it was. I booted and than windows didn't boot at all. I went back into Ubuntu to check and it said that the partition was empty. I have a recovery image in a hard drive and a Recovery disc, plus a product key. I refuse to spend the money on a Windows 8 install disc because I already bought a copy, I have a key for it. I tried the windows installer thing that is supposed to give me an iso to use but it says my product key can not be used for it. I can get the recovery disc to boot and I tried re-installing from an image file but it doesn't see windows so I can't restore it.

I already tried it. It doesn't boot into it, I think that may be corrupt or something. If I can't figure this out I will just use Ubuntu. Not to big of deal, just want compatibility.
I've wanted to boot and (later) install Android on my Acer Switch.
At first I thought that I can use Images from Android On Intel but it doesn't boot, because the Switch 10 has an 32 bit efi (Intel only supports 64 bit).
Then I've found this thread on xda-developers:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46929905&postcount=16
So I prepared an Ubuntu Stick, but before I've copied the Androidx86 image to it, I wanted to test whether it boots Ubuntu.
And of course, I can boot Ubuntu so it's clear, that the Stick is 32bit efi compatible prepared.
Now I've copied all files from the "android-x86-4.4-r1.iso" to the new created "android"-folder and edited the grub as given.
Then I boot up the Acer Switch, selected the Android and it seems working. But it crashes to the command line as it was expected.
Now I have to type in "exit", but there is the issue. The Acer Keyboard Dock is not recognized by the command line.
After that I've rebooted and retry the same way but with an connected USB Keyboard. Same too. It''s still not recognized.
So, Is anyone there, who got it, to boot Androidx86 on the Acer Switch 10?
In addition. I've also changed the grub setting by deleting the command "DEBUG=1". Then Android boots up to "Detecting Android ...", some other logs and to the blinking curser, but nothing more. It freezes before the Android Boot logo would appear.

Hi,
I downloaded Phoenix OS 64 bit exe. Ran the app, and installed the OS on the same partition "C" on which I have Win 10. As the installation gets done, I restarted the laptop. It asks to boot in to Win 10 or Phoenix OS. I chose Phoenix, but the system rebooted to the same options to choose from Win or Phoenix.
Is there any fix
Hello?
Does grub give any errors after selecting Phoenix? Does any white on black text appear after selecting? Which version do you use and what kind of hardware (CPU/GPU)? Next time give more information from the beginning, maybe you could have gotten more help.

No!
As the Phoenix OS installer finishes the installation, I restarted the Windows. It showed me a screen to select from Win 10 or Phoenix. I chose Phoenix, a white text appear with a black background. Screen kept flashing for 3 to 4 times, without any text. I kept waiting for the Phoenix OS, but it booted me again to the first step to choose from Win or Phoenix.
My BIOS setting is Legacy. I tried to change it to UEFI, it showed me some error that device missing or something.
Laptop Specs:
AMD A8 series APU, 6 GB RAM, 500 GB HDD, Radeon Mobility R5.
BUMP!
I downloaded the ISO file and made a bootable USB with Rufus and it does the same thing just reboots after installation no errors even if I try to boot without installation from the USB it just keeps rebooting I'll try to find a different version tomorrow maybe it'll work
Same, I never got it to work with NTSF...
same thing happened to me.
in my case it shows language selection window and then agreement window, then right after it freezes and computer reboots.
same as me. my laptop is restarting into windows while choosing prime os or phoenix os( i tried both methods with exe file installation or iso for prime os)
the pheonix os i downloaded is the best it boots into the os then the caps lock starts blinking and it reboots back in the selection screen.. i looked online for fixes and everyones saying to turn off the wifi adaptor and use a lan cable. but whats the point of doing this. like honestly remix os does the job but it dosent have the proper keymapper for gaming other then that its great. lets just face it pheonic os is a piece of ****
Hey man, I just faced this issue and can't seem to find any solution so far, so if you've figured a solution for this can you please share it with me ... Thanks.
Hi!
So I've been trying to get Ubuntu touch to dual boot with Android and though everything seems to be working okay, when I open the dual boot installer, it just says "no available channels" with the Install Ubuntu button disabled. I've tried a variety of system images too but the result seems to be the same and I have no idea what is going wrong. I'm using a Nexus 4. Any idea on what a solution to this problem could be?
