In general: I want to install Remix OS as primary OS to a partition on my HDD. I've tried number of ways but none of them would boot. Everything so far is dual boot it with Windows or Ubuntu. 
My goal: Install Remix OS only in HDD. No dual-boot with anything else, no live flash drive or DVD. Resident between reboots.
I have another Windows machine to do the installation.
What I've tried:
  • copying usb partition to HDD primary active partition (failed - no grldr)
  • use remix os installer included (failed - no grldr)
  • copy grldr to remix os partition and create menu.lst (detected/found android x86 at sda, stuck at A N D R O I D, no shell command, not proceed to loading logo)
  • raw copy iso to HDD (unrecognized by windows)
From what I've observed when using Remix OS installer there is ubnldr in HDD boot partition, but it's strange when booting throws NO GRLDR error. (chainload?)
Thank you for your help!

EDIT: USB boot works fine. I can boot from it, but I can't install to HDD from it.

boot it with USB
highlight resident mode
press tab
add INSTALL=1 to the prompt line
press enter
android x86 installer will be available now
select the partition in what you want to install the os
if you want format to ext4
skip grub installation
skip grub2 installation
another prompt, 'make system r/w', select yes
you'll be prompted to install virtual sdcard, input 2GB (maximum size) yes ofc
wait till finish installation
will ask you if you want to run or reboot
reboot your device

I was figured out adding INSTALL=1 would let me install to HDD. But when the installation finishes, I still can't boot into Remix OS because "Trusted Grub" file not found. I can boot remix OS after installation completes but not after rebooting.

Install GRUB to harddisk and enjoy!
