necessary preparatory work
1. Prepare all the tools software system image
2, open the ISO image with UltraISO, click start, write to the hard disk image, the default configuration is not Change, click Format, then click Write, OK
3, Bios sets the notebook U disk to boot, select the last one to install to HardDisk,
4, select Sda1, the same disk in the same system (recommended), Not Format (not formatted), then all YES, userdata will be created during the period, the default is 512M, enough, the last yes will open the system read and write permissions, easy to operate, novices do not randomly delete the files in the System directory; >5, finally create a fake SDcard, or you can't download things, the size you like, I set 512M, enough.
6, OK, select reboot to restart, pull out the U disk before the screen appears, or enter the installation interface.
The specific process:
Because the Android 4.0 x86 image is very small, it is a bit wasteful to burn the CD, so I teach you how to make the U disk into a system installation disk.
The software and hardware we need are: 1 U disk, 1 computer, downloaded Android x86 installation image and UltraISO software.
We plug the USB flash drive into the computer and then open the UltraISO software. The interface is as follows:
3 UltraISO main interface
▲Open the required image file
Next we use the software to open us Need to write the installation image of the U disk. The action is: find the menu bar, select File -> Open, and select the desired image.
▲Select "Write to hard disk image"
After the image is loaded, we must prepare to write the image to the USB flash drive. Traditional copy and paste can only copy data to the USB flash drive. We can't create a boot file, so we need to use the UltraISO-specific image write feature. In the main interface menu bar, click Start ->; write to the hard disk image and open a dialog window.
▲ Write U disk setting method
We only need to follow the instructions in the above figure to set the image can be written to our designated U disk. The only thing left is that we can wait a moment after clicking the "write" button. Since the writing speed of the U disk is generally faster, the image can be written in tens of seconds. At this point, a system installed U disk is successfully produced.
After the mirroring is complete, we can start the installation. We plug in the U disk, and then need to set the U disk as the priority boot item in the motherboard BIOS, so that we can smoothly enter the system installation interface. Because the BIOS interface of each motherboard product is different, there are many different places in the settings, so if you don't know the BIOS settings, you can refer to the motherboard manual of your computer to perform the corresponding operations.
▲ After the BIOS is set up, you can enter the Android x86 installation menu after rebooting. If we set it in the BIOS, then we can directly enter the Android x86 installation menu after we restart. The installation menu for Android x86 is still very simple. The four menu options from top to bottom are: directly run Android x86, VESA mode, Debug mode and enter the installation wizard.
The first and last item is the one we use the most. The first item allows us to avoid the hassle of installation. Run Android x86 directly on the installation disk, but it is not possible to save any changes to the system. The last one is to install Android x86 on our computer hard drive just like the traditional system. If you just want to experience it, you can choose the first item. Of course, this article can be ended.
The author will tell you how to install Android x86 into your computer's hard disk.
▲Create a partition specially for storing Android system is the first step
Of course, your computer is definitely not so "Clean" you can choose the partition you want and choose your own
Note: In many cases, GPT disk can not be partitioned, you can only use your partition.
I still want to teach you how to create a Separate partition. In the interface above, we choose: “Create/Modify partitions”, enter the interface of the disk partition below.
The above we entered the partition creation interface from the installation partition selection menu. The operation here is also a more complicated place in the Android installation. Therefore, the author will create an Android x86 installation partition step by step for you in detail, and everyone will be able to learn in detail soon.
▲ partition creation interface
Android x86 installation system disk built-in partition creation interface "cfdisk", but compared to the Windows partition interface "simply" But even if such an interface may be cast aside by everyone, it is actually not reduced in function. First let's create a new partition. We use the keyboard to move the cursor to the "New" option.
▲Set partition as primary partition
Since the system must be installed on the primary partition, we select the “Primary” option of the menu to create a primary partition. If you need to create multiple partitions, there is not much difference between selecting the primary partition or the logical partition except the primary partition of the installation system.
▲Enter the size of the partition we need to create, in MB< Br>
▲ will create a good partition change "can start" properties
Next we need to do is to set the size of the partition, because Android x86 takes up very little disk space, so we do not have to partition the system Set too much capacity. After setting the partition, we select the “Bootale” option of the menu to set the partition as a bootable partition.
▲ Then select write
▲ Enter the complete yes
Even if the partition settings are all completed, we choose the “Quit” option to return to the installation partition selection interface.
The partition was created, then the work of installing the system has actually been completed more than half, and the rest is that we need to install the Android x86 system into our partition. When we return to the system installation partition selection interface from the partition creation interface, we can see that the interface has undergone subtle changes.
▲ Create a good partition has been able to display on the menu
We see that the partition just created has been displayed in the list, we select the partition as our system partition, then we press Enter Key OK
▲If you install in win8 system disk then choose not to format
select file system
Next we choose partition file system, although Android x86 supports NTFS and FAT32 File system format. But for the best compatibility we chose the EXT3 file system, which is one of the most commonly used partitions on the mobile Android system.
▲Install bootloader
▲Set the system folder to read and write permissions
We will see two sets of prompt boxes, respectively, to install the bootloader to confirm and the system The folder settings have read and write permissions. In order to ensure that the computer boot can normally boot into the Android system, the former we choose & ldquo; YES & rdquo;. The latter is an optional option. Choosing YES makes it easier for developers to do Debug work, but it takes up a bit of space. Since we have plenty of space, we also choose “& < YES
Running the x86 version of the Android system
