Hi guys, I am trying to get the net install Ubuntu onto my sbk2 device. I'm having trouble finding a program to do this on windows. I would really not want to have to setup a dual boot linux / windows on my desktop instead saving that as a last alternative..... Any help would be much appreciated.
You could install linux to a usb stick and boot from there. Insert your 4GB+ usb stick and run the live cd/usb. You should have an option to install to the usb and be sure to install grub tto the usb stick, not your primary hard drive.
My recommendation would be to skip the windows dual boot and just install linux!

So... this took me forever searching online and such to find out how to get my stupid USB drives working on Ubuntu that I'm loading on VirtualBox (Mac OSX host).. I installed the extension for VirtualBox and enabled the USB stuff in settings and thennnnnnn the part I was missing was you just have to eject the drives from the Mac so that Ubuntu on the VirtualBox has a chance (?) to access the USB drives... Such a simple fix for such a drive me INSANE problem!
I need some imput to find out if I'm wasting my time..I'm curently working on a ubuntu distro with adb and all other utils for android embedded in it ..The idea behind it is that people will have the choice to boot into live cd with a disk or thumb drive and beable to use it right out of the box ..and if they choose they can also install it along side windows and dual boot it.. its still in early stages of release (RC1). The point of it is that you will not have to go through the setup process to get adb and other utils working including eclips all utils will run out of box. No setup will be required other then creating bootable usb drive or CD..I'm trying to have RC1 ready for trials this Sunday.

I tried to install android 7.1 86x firstly for BIOS(legacy) mode because i like to keep the second OS hidden then I can boot directly to Windows 8.1 on EFI, then I selected to install grub however my stock bootloader was still starting and nothing of grub and therefore I cannot boot into android. Then I decided to install for EFI because I was a whole day trying to work that out and couldn't find any answer on Internet, however seems like the stock bootloader starts instead of grub after I restart the pc.
Extra information:
My pc has an E1-2000 AMD processor, it is 64 bits (and yes, i downloaded the right iso file).
Windows boots from EFI, and I had Kali Linux previously installed with grub and worked fine.After I removed kali I also removed grub with "bootrec /fixmbr" and "/fixboot" on command prompt.
Windows is working fine.
Try downloading the easyUEFI tool (check google) and on windows set a partition for Grub + setting it as the default over MBR

What if I don't have windows there anymore? Is there a similar solution, inside a command line maybe?
I think I'm in a similar situation where I can install and run Androidx86 from my USB, but if I restart the laptop it won't find any boot option.
The device I'm trying to do this on isn't your typical x86 device. The device mentioned in the description ships with a dual boot of android 5 and windows 10. Normally plugging in a USB stick with a flashed ISO into most other devices would make it boot into the flashed OS install options or a liveCD, but in this case, it still boots into the default boot meant to choose between windows and android, and yes trying to boot into either OS from there still boots it into the selected OS. I've tried with the micro USB, USB C, and the 2 ports on the keyboard that comes with package C or D, none of them make it boot into the Live CD. The image was flashed with Rufus if that helps any.

I have, but i still cannot disable secure boot.
With the tablet connected to the keyboard change the settings you require in the secure boot screen then press F10 on the keyboard. This allows the new settings to be saved. I have already tried MXLinux and Lubuntu with no joy so far. mainly autorotation not working or wifi. Good luck.
