Based on the company's official Chinese social media account, it is currently not possible to install the OS onto the HDD

I made a 32 GB Partition (FAT32) and copied (cloned) everything including bootsect from USB and it now boots from my HDD.

you would have to install a bootloader such as GRUB2 to enable this functionality.

i used EaseUS Partition Master make it FAT32. and no i cant use more then 4GB. however, if u plug in a 1TB hDD, u se use aps like APPS2SD to move installs.

I've got it installed as an OS choice on Macs. You can definitely do this and not have the 4GB storage limit. I think the issue will be with how Jide does the updates (initially) possibly.

Yep. When you do this, you are offered the stock Android x-86 installer, option to install a boot loader (or not), etc. when you are done, you can choose to boot and run from the installed version.

There is no OTA update currently, you have to manually install the next version the USB without reformatting if you want your data.

The solution is to partition it beforehand using something like GParted. Using GParted I created two partitions. First is a small 100mb FAT32, and the second is EXT4 covering the rest of the drive. Then you run the installer like shown above, choose the second partition(Don't format it!) and then say yes when it asks to install GRUB(skip EFI). GRUB installs to the first partition while Android-x86 installs to the second.

also, use TAB to remove the "Quiet'" part, to see the whole install log.

RE: Dual Booting: That seems to be the best way to approach this OS at this time. Clone the USB Remix OS to a primary designated drive and set the drive designations in EasyBCD software, so that at startup you are telling your computer  which OS to boot from in a dual boot situation.
