I have a Fujitsu P1120 touchscreen netbook. I have been trying to dual boot android with the windows xp that is on there but have had no success. I cannot seem to figure out the right way to put android on the hard drive. It keeps coming up with a grub error for invalid filesystem. I have downloaded liveandroid, android 86x. The main problem that I have is that my device doesn't support booting from usb, booting from network, or any usb external drive. So the only way I can get it to work is to manually install android but I don't know how to do that.
Can anyone help me with this please?

To put it bluntly you're trying to get your netbooks to do something it isn't intended to do. Those thing are built with the absolute bare minimum to do pretty much nothing more than browse the web, hence "netbook". It's not a full PC. Even the newer ones don't run a full version of Windows 7. Short of knowing how to re-write a BIOS image or finding a modified one and flashing it, which has the risk of perma-bricking your computer.
Волк,
Sorry my bad english..I have a good computer, phone and tablet. However I like to modify my old electronics giving new life to them .... Now for example I'll replace the HDD Fujitsu Lifebook P1120 IDE for SSD and I'll put a PCMCIA card with internal memory to speed up Windows. I installed windows 7 and it is working. So I had to make a modification in winsetup.dll to install.
At the moment I install Android but I am having difficulties.
During installation of 8.1 preview, the several automated restarts resulted in a BCD error. I was smart enough to make a backup, however it is corrupt! Just a word of caution for people. MS techs are calling me tomorrow with possible workarounds but it sounded like they were just going to ship a new device and be done with it. If anyone has any tips or ideas I'd appreciate it. I definitely don't want to ship this tablet out if I don't have to.

32gb surface rt from usa
Wow that's odd...I just did it with no problems at all. Can you boot from USB? Because if you can, then you can just burn the rt ISO to a flash drive and recover it from there.
Oh, and btw, 8.1 makes this device at least 2 times as fast as it was out of the box. With 8.1, everything is just faster with almost no lag. So if you can, I really would recommend installing it if you get it fixed. It should only reboot twice. Once for the update, and once to set up everything.
Errored out during installation the first time for me and reinstalled my previous version of windows. Just went back in the store and reinstalled it. Worked just fine the second time. Crazy fast for me. Surface rt 32 gb.
I cant install it on mine yet, keeps saying not available at this time.
EN-GB 32 RT, have reset it and set it up as a EN-US device, got the Preview in Store but just waiting for server load to drop off I guess.
Oh, and if anyone nails the install and ends up with a dead machine, I have an EN-GB recovery link in my sig.
I also have an FTP server here in the UK with it on if people are desperate.

I have your recovery file, do I just put the iso on a USB? Or do I need to make the drive bootable?

As with every other ISO on the planet, you need to use a disk imaging tool to make a bootable USB
any chance you can post your link for the recovery file? I would appreciate it if you could

the link is taking me to another thread and there is no link there?
It shows up in the store for me when I did those four steps but the download always sais not available right now
So then I changed locale to US as suggested, the text is no longer corrupted but still won't download.
UK surface RT...and with RT you can't use iso file so store is my only option. It could just be overcrowded server but I really want the dam thing to download

I didn't ask because I was being lazy, I asked because I have tried every method I can think of to boot from that iso and it still doesn't work. I can't get to anything other than the surface logo then the error. I have tried multiple ways of making that drive bootable, but whenever I start surface holding volume down, the drive will flash for about 3 seconds then cut to the BCD error. And the tool in the windows store "Windows 7 usb download" tool does not recognize the iso as a windows file and will not create the drive with it. I have tried rufus and a program called iso to usb. Drive formatted as NTSF and for the sake of not going crazy tried FAT32. Same outcome regardless of approach.
I need the link to the surface rt recovery file too. the link in the signature takes me to another thread

How about you read the thread which then has the link in it.
Rocket science at its best
Maybe I should just have the file in my FTP and a direct link in my sig, perhaps that'd be easier lol

Same for me. I guess the drive needs the bootfiles for an RT device. If you make an usb-drive bootable on an x86/x64-system, the drive will contain code that can't run on ARM.
If anyone knows how to make the drive bootable for RT, I'd really like to know as well.
Just copy the files in the recovery to a fat32 formatted usb drive, then hold the volume down button plus power button, this will take time to boot but its normal. I already have my own recovery on a usb stick, but never deleted the built in one. Tried installing this on an x86 netbook but the wim file isn't recognized.
If anyone else is having trouble installing the RT preview, there's a way to change the base language. First is installing a language pack (US) and setting it as default language, then changing something in the registry with the name InstallLanguage and changing its value to 0409.

Thank you! and without the condescending tone even. This is exactly what I needed. Back up and running thanks to this.
Okay, so some of us were in this boat. You have to reinstall Windows on your nice little Surface Pro tablet. But sadly you don't have a recovery partition or a flash drive! So what are you supposed to do?
Well, first you ask Microsoft support. That does not go well: they tell you to send them your Surface. But that's not really a good option - to lose your tablet for two weeks over a software problem? That's just not fair!
So, next, you try googling for help. But all you ever find are similar unanswered pleas for help, which usually end up being either unanswered or closed by moderators.
But fear not, as you CAN solve this, and you don't even need to do crazy things like making your own recovery image, or downloading one from weird Chinese sites.

HOW TO REINSTALL WINDOWS 8.1 ON YOUR SURFACE PRO WITHOUT A RECOVERY PARTITION/USB
Step 1.
Obtain a Windows 8.1 ISO. I can't tell you where to obtain one, but it is not a hard task.
The flavor Surface Pro uses is Windows 8.1 Pro x64. I used the EN-US version, as I have an American Surface, so I can't verify how other languages will work.
Step 2.
Burn that ISO to a USB drive. I suggest using Rufus for that: http://rufus.akeo.ie/
Step 3.
Boot your Surface from the USB drive.
To do that, hold the volume down button when turning on your Surface
Step 4.
Install Windows 8.1.
Step 4.5.
It will ask you for an install key, and might not accept your real Surface key. The reason for that is that the installer for Windows 8.1 does not accept Windows 8.0 keys (and your Surface might have one of those).
To proceed with installation, you will need this install key:
XHQ8N-C3MCJ-RQXB6-WCHYG-C9WKB
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This key is for installation only. IT DOES NOT ACTIVATE WINDOWS.
Step 5.
After installing the OS, you'll notice that it's not behaving quite right, for example, there are 4 rows of tiles on the start screen instead of three.
Go to Windows Update, and install everything.
Step 5.5.
If you installed with the install key, use this utility to get the original Windows key: http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/30363-Windows-8-Product-Key-Viewer
Choose the "MSDM" option, copy that key, and activate Windows with it.
Step 6.
Enjoy your happily recovered Surface.

So there. That was a little guide on how to recover a Surface Pro without a recovery drive. I was in this situation myself recently, and Microsoft offered me to send my Surface to them - which would've cost me $200, as I live in a different country from the one my Surface came from, and also would've meant living without my tablet for a month or even longer. So I just fixed it all myself.
A lot of people seem to be posting in that other recovery thread, so I'm just gonna make this visible again.
Only one question, do I need a keyboard or mouse for that?
Cause I've got only wireless mouse and original type cover, which does not work for some reason, and that's why I want reinstall windows.
I think it should pop up the on-screen keyboard if you use touch.
Anyone else did this process and got the Surface Pro 2 back to "out of the box" state?
touch screen
has anyone of you got the issue with the touch controller? and after the windows reinstall did it come back?
regards
Worked perfect
Worked perfect on a MS Surface Pro 1, with windows 8.1 Pro install USB, no keyboard or mouse needed.
Thank you! :good:
Thanks a heap for this guide, thought my Surface was done for.
For those unable to boot normally into Windows, holding VolKeyDown + Power while the unit is off will force the unit to boot from removable storage (doesn't have to be a USB Stick, you can plug in any kind of bootable media, including a USB DVD-ROM).
Have fun!

# UPDATE #
Worked perfectly fine
question
I just installed the latest Firmware / Drivers MS has pushed through Windows Update,
and i would like to refresh my Surface Pro 2 to get a clean install.
- First thing i did was create a bootable usb drive using Microsofts new 'Create Installation Media Tool'
. I selected 'Windows 8.1 Pro x64' in my native language which is Dutch.
The tool created a bootable USB stick, which i haven't tried yet.. before i continue i have some questions;
....
1. I copied my recovery image to a USB stick and deleted the recovery partition.
- If i reinstall Windows can i still use the recovery usb in case something goes wrong during the installation, or is it linked to your current installation?
2. Would Windows automatically recognize the serial number, which i believe is stored in the BIOS / UEFI, and activate Windows? I've written down the serial using the tool mentioned in the OP to be on the safe side.
3. Like i mentioned before, i installed the lastest driver / firmware package, will Windows automatically install the latest drivers after installation or first install more basic drivers to get WiFi up and running and then install the latest drivers?
4. When you install new driver / firmware software will Windows automatically update the then older drivers in the recovery image?
I've read the previous posts saying that everything went smoothly, but i just want to make sure i'm not forgetting anything..
i have a Surface Pro 2 btw!

1:I have no idea
2: Yes it will, I have a surface pro 1 and it was activated automatically, so i didnt had to do anything with my serial. (on a new windows 8.1 install)
3: Yes it will, but you can always install them manually (doesn't really matter unless there are issues with drivers).
4: Dont know (dont think so). (I havent ever uses a recovery installation ever, i always install everything manually back on .
Hi together,
I did the steps and everything went fine. But I had to disable secure boot at first.
Now, after the isntallation of Windows 8.1, I activated it again and reinstalled the default keys. Is this the way it is meant?
Or do I need to leave it disabled?
Thank you very much!
Best regards,

So I have a question.
I removed my recovery partition to regain the space.
Does your method reformat the drive and repartition everything? Will it reinstall the recovery partition?
I remember all former windows os installations I've done allowed me to format the drive and clear the partitions and then either create new ones myself or use the blank disk. Win7 would (on a blank disk) create it's recovery partition.
So I went ahead and did it.
To anyone looking to do this, use the official media creation tool. It's free from Microsoft and extremely simple.
I didn't have to disable secure boot or anything, just hold down the volume and power button with the USB plugged in.
The installer let me delete all my existing partitions and it automatically created only the ones needed.
It never asked for a key and was activated correctly when I booted into widows.
I found the installer created 3 total partitions on it's own.
1st a 300mb empty partition which I believe is supposed to be for windows RE and required by bit locker.
2nd a 100mb partition containing an EFI folder.
Note: these two aren't supposed to be accessible, I did special mounting to check them out.
3rd the rest of my disk space was created for my system partition
I'm mostly happy with this.
The only issue I've had so far is I can't turn bit locker on, even though there is a 300mb partition, it's empty and bit locker complains about the widows recovery environment not being on the system dive.

Anyone tested this yet with a surface 3 or surface 3 pro?
Tried this with my Surface 3, which is stuck currently on Win10 10074, and the install key didn't work.
It works
I used the freeware ISO2Disc to burn a Windows 10 ISO file to my USB drive and I can then reinstall successfully. Remember to choose GPT partition style as Surface Pro can boot in UEFI mode only.

I did basically the same, reinstall a clean Windows on my Surface pro 3, but can not turn on bit locker, too. Have you figured out, how to solve this issue?
Hello,
Here is the steps to upgrade the 64GB version (Sorry I d'ont have the 32GB to test) from 4.4.2 stock firmware to 4.4.4 stock firmware . (you will lost your windows 8.1 boot, but don't worry here are the steps to reinstall it)
I am not responsible for any damage of your device.
Before starting you need to buy :
a keyboard
a keyboard
an usb key 250Mbytes (minimum)
an usb key 6Gbytes(minimum)
an OTG micro usb HUB like this one Inateck ultra-mini 4-port USB Hub micro usb OTG hub , at least you need 3 port USB : one for the keyboard , one for a USB key (FAT32) , one for the USB key (NTFS).
After the upgrade your Android will be in chinese , but it's easy to change the language, go to the parameters screen-->click on the square icon with a "A" inside-->click on the first line-->choose your language.
You can find the adb driver and/or root the tablet on my other post root & drivers
0)If your tablet is booting on windows , switch to android
1)Download the update kit : http://ul.to/la0uhu2r
2)unzip it
3)connect your tablet to your computer , and put your tablet in fastboot mode ( power on+volume up)
4)launch the flash.bat , wait ...and the tablet will restart
5) et voilà!!!!
And now the step to install Windows 8.1 :
0)Boot your tablet on android , and switch the tablet to Windows, the tablet restart and fail to boot ( it's ok) , you need to do this to install Windows on the good partition
1)Download the windows boot program : FAT32.zip
2)Unzip on a formated FAT32 USB key (250Mbytes minimum)
3)Download the windows 8.1 official chuwi image (13 parts) :
http://ul.to/fefdtn4r
http://ul.to/yqrtueoz
http://ul.to/e3jmy6bg

http://ul.to/v6j1kufc
http://ul.to/2hd605ra
http://ul.to/awcux5s0
http://ul.to/8yecpg4m
4)Unzip it on a formated NTFS USB key (6Gbytes minimum) , you will have a folder "images" on your key
5)Start your tablet with Power on+Volume up , the tablet will boot on a screen with big icons
6)Plug the USB HUB , plug on the Hub the keyboard and the FAT32 USB key (with the boot program)
7)with the keyboard , select the icon "Boot from file"
8)Select the "bootmgr.efi" , before pressing enter ,Plug the NTFS USB KEY , then press enter
10)Wait and watch the installation.
11)Done!!

Hello, I'm in need of the drivers of this model. I tried to click the site you have given here but it won't connect. It seems the web site is no more. Could you please share another site where I can get these drivers. I can no longer find the drivers on the official site. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much. This is a great help for a backup driver. On the other hand I did found another way to backup my drivers. the software name is "double driver". It works well, backing up and restoring pc drivers. I have just a clean install of Windows 10 and restoring the drivers with this software. Thanks again.
Two questions
Hi and thanks. I have two very important questions:
1-does this tablet have bios setup? In other words, can I setup a legacy boot to install windows 10 from USB?
2- when formatting to install new windows, will Android be removed too? If no, is there any way to completely format the disk and install only a new windows?

1. Hello, to enter in bios setup, you need a USB keyboard and a 2 or 3 ports USB hub with micro USB to be connected at the tablet. You turn on the tablet and while the display turns on with its chuwi logo, you must in time press the exit key on the keyboard. With that, it will enter on its bios mode.
2. In my case, my chuwi v10hd version, I only have the windows 8.1 installed and updated it to Windows 10. After that I decided to have a clean install to Windows 10. I made a bootable USB by using Rufus, converting iso image of Windows 10 to uefi bootable usb image. That's my case. In your question, if you're going to update windows to version 10, I think windows will overwrite the boot loader and booting to Android will not be possible. I think the android partition will remain intact if you will not format it. If you want to install only windows 10, it will be much easier. You can delete all partitions that is, windows and android and install Windows 10. Windows will take care the rest of the formatting and installation. This is done by custom install on Windows 10 installation. A suggestion, if you want a clean install, you have to backup your drivers and restore them after clean install. I used double driver for backup and restore. Another is have a copy of your serial number of Windows 10. Hope this can be a help.
desperately in search of a Bios
Hi,
may somebody has a Bios and the right tool for me to flash my Chuwi V10HD 3G.
I locked my self out of the bios configuration with disabling the USB keyboard support in the bios,
may somebody has another way to reset the bios without opening the Tablet.
I tried a lot of things already, but nothing helps.
But the Windows is still working, but indeed no USB support in Windows after I accidentally disabled it in Bios.
Thanks a lot for any help.
Regards

Thank.

Windows is probably the main/primary OS. If getting Android to boot is somewhat linked to the existence of Windows, then you might not be able to remove it. That's probably why no one did that yet.
Edit: I found this http://forum.chuwi.com/thread-1848-1-1.html
Maybe you can give it a try. Remember that you do it at your own risks.

What you're trying to do is getting more space under Android.
That won't go without repartitioning. It's another task for the expert. Although you should be able to access (read) windows partition in Android if you use an app that can mount NTFS drivers in Android system.
Bigger issue. I just tried to reset from window to the if Android disappears. The tablet is stuck at some boot situation. Anyway to solve this plz?

Hi @METAL66 are you still stuck?
I don't have a guaranteed solution (I have original not "Pro") for you but the following helped me get Android working again when it got stuck at the Intel Inside logo.
This tablet is a x86-64 PC, and boots into a UEFI BIOS first.
1. If you don't have the Chuwi keyboard for this tablet, you can use an OTG (on the go) cable to connect a regular PC keyboard to it. I used a USB hub to allow me to connect a USB drive at the same time:
Code:
[Tablet] -- (OTG) -- [USB hub] -- [keyboard]
[USB storage]--------------------/
With the keyboard attached, you can press Del or Esc (a few times) during bootup to enter the BIOS config.
In there you can change things like whether to show a "quiet" boot or not. I turned it off so I see the AMI BIOS info when it first boots.
2. The official Chuwi Web site has self-contained recovery image installers (WinPE based).
This is the tutorial I used to recover Android while preserving Windows 10.
http -- forum.chuwi.com / thread-1283-1-1.html
Among the available recovery images is one that installs Android and causes Windows to be "lost"
http -- forum.chuwi.com / thread-1210-1-1.html
I'm not sure if the WinPE instance they distribute has full control over the partitions (presumably it at least has software on it to allow access to the Android partitions to repair the boot files write the image), but if so, maybe you can use it to delete the Windows Partitions and reclaim the space for use by Android.
