How To Install Android Directly On Pc! and Dual Boot with windows (fixed!) pixs

I tried this first with my pc, installed but did not boot so i tried it again with another pc. And it worked! hurry! im happy but im not happy cos i wanted to give that pc to my sis it resolution is lower than mine and it cant run windows 8.
any let me skip the sad story. here is the deal. you must know it will not work on pc e.g my own
and no need to worry about breaking any terms and conditions because android is open source
plus its at you and ur computer own risk! but its totally safe.

first download android disk image file. i have android 4.4 kit kat.
download here any version http://www.android-x86.org/

also download Universal USB Installer here http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/
get a flash drive or at least 1gb memory card and card reader

you must have at least 2 partition. and the other one(the one you will use) must be free(empty) and must be at most 32gb
if you dont know how to create and format partitions well. its a long story. just Google it. but if ur the type that gets thing(smart type) just search for partitions in ur system u will see "create and format hard disk partitions" windows 8 users would see it in settings section of their search
format the partition in FAT32 format

now open Universal USB Installer
select Android from the drop down list in step 1. its in the last group.


now step 2 select the android.iso file you downloaded.

step 3 select the flash or memory card you want to use.
now you can format the flash if you want. or rather if there is enough space and you don't want to format it you can go straight to creating no problem. simply tick the box to format. me im not formatting mine.

then it bring out a box. click yes. then it begins!
CMD and 7z would open in the process.

when finish close. now restart your system! make sure the flash is in!

your system will now Boot from the flash. if it doesn't press f12 quickly when the system comes on and select USB

android dialog comes on. i recommend you run from live cd without installation first to see if ur system would work with it. mine does not boot. it gets to one stage then restarts. but once ur system shows a silver ANDROID. its booting and ur good to go.

u can always run from the flash in case u dont want to install it

if ur system boots. then restart and install to hard disk
now select the free partition. Sda1 is c, Sda 2 is d Sda 3 is e and so on........
note: make sure when you opened create and format hard disk partitions, the partitions were arranged according to the letters. like the first partition bears c the second d. if not, you can change it or rather just know that the first one is sda1 and the second is sda2 and so on

then click Do not format

then it will ask do u want to install boot loader GRUB? click yes

then it will see ur windows and say "the installer found windows in partition /dev/sda1 do you want to create boot item for windows?" click yes

then it will say do you want to install system directory bla bla bla. click yes

then it will bring out create disk image click yes. it must be a minimum of 512mb and max 2048me i put2048 mb. but bear in mind that the bigger the value the longer the time spent installing

then reboot and remove the flash or memory card. congratulation. your system now dual boot windows and android. mine is windows 7 and android 4.4


each time you start your system, it will give you an option of windows or android . if it does not work(if it boots into windows directly) install it again!
mine is working and i no have problems booting into my windows 7.




if you have problems booting into windows......get the installation disk, click repair computer. it might automatically detect startup problems. cancel immediately cos it not going to solve it. open command prompt and type bootrec/fixboot and bootrec/fixmbr then restart. it will boot directly into windows. if u dont want the android you can format the partition
