How To Install Android Directly On PC

Do you have challenges as you try to upload an Android App on your PC. Follow these guides. It will be of help.
Step 1. Download android disk image file from this site 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 you are the type that gets thing (smart type) just search for partitions in your system you 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.


 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. 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 you finishthe installation, close it. 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. Its recommend that you run from live CD without installation in order to see if your system would work with it. Mine does not boot. It gets to one stage then restarts. But once your system shows a silver ANDROID. its booting and you are good to go. cool

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

If your 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

It will ask if you want to install boot loader GRUB? click yes

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

It will ask you if you want to install system directory bla bla b. click yes

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

Reboot and remove the flash or memory card. 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!

Cheers!
