Hello Pals,,

I'm going to post a tutorial, how to install Android x86 to any of your device (Virtual Machine supported now !).
So, let's start !

Preparations :

1. A working laptop & netbooks
2. R/W CD / Bootable USB stick (flashdisk) / free space for VM
3. Android x86 ISO
4. Free partition :
- 2 GB for Froyo - ICS
- 8 GB for JellyBean 4.2 - JellyBean 4.3
- 10 GB for KitKat 4.4.2
Note : Smaller partition works, but isn't recommended. (RIY : Risk Is Yours)

1. Download Android x86 ISO.
If your device brand isn't listed there, download Generic ICS build
Follow the guide with your preferred installation method.

If you're using USB stick :

2. Download UNetbootin
On Ubuntu (11.04 and higher) you can type : sudo apt-get install unetbootin

3. Run Unetbootin, select the Android x86 ISO
4. Select USB drive (instead of Hard Disk), then click OK
5. The UNetbootin will install Android x86 live image & installer to your USB stick
6. Reboot your device after the installation is completed.
7. Boot to Boot Device Selection (in BIOS image), after you entered it, select USB2.0 / USB4.0 / USB Disk (or something similiar)
8. There will be a GRUB like menu generated by UNetbootin, select Install Android x86 to hard disk
9. Wait until it to load
10. Select partition to install Android x86
11. If you're unsure, don't format the partition
12. There will be a prompt, 'Install GRUB bla-bla-bla', if you use Windows, select yes. Another prompt will appear, select yes again.
If you're using Ubuntu / already installed GRUB Bootloader, select no
13. Another prompt, 'Make system r/w', select yes (if you like modifying your Android x86)
14. If you're using Android x86 4.0.3 and older, you'll be prompted to install virtual SDCard, input 2GB (maximum size)
15. Reboot your device

If you're using CD R/W

2. Burn the Android x86 ISO
3. Reboot your device, go to Boot Device Selection menu, select the CD / DVD
4. You will see Android x86 GRUB menu, select Install Android x86 to hard disk
5. Wait until it to load
6. Select partition to install Android x86
7. If you're unsure, don't format the partition
8. There will be a prompt, 'Install GRUB bla-bla-bla', if you use Windows, select yes. Another prompt will appear, select yes again.
If you're using Ubuntu, select no
9. Another prompt, 'Make system r/w', select yes (if you like modifying your Android x86)
10. If you're using Android x86 4.0.3 and older, you'll be prompted to install virtual SDCard, input 2 GB (maximum)
11. Reboot your device

If you're using it as virtual machine :

2. Set up the VM (RAM set to min 512 MB), tweak the configuration to match your taste
3. Make sure you already loaded the ISO file, run the VM
4. A GRUB menu generated by Android x86 will appear, select the last option (Installation - Install Android x86 to hard disk)
5. Wait until it loads
6. Create a new partition (Navigate to New, , set to maximum size, navigate to write, done, navigate to quit)
7. Install Android x86 to new partition
8. Format the partition to ext3 / ext4 (ext3 / ext4 is recommended than fat32 or ext2).
9. Answer 'yes' to 'Install bootloader GRUB bla-bla-bla'
10. Answer 'yes' again to 'Make system r/w'
11. If you're asked for sdcard, then input 2GB (the maximum size is 2GB, if your partition is smaller, input suitable size for your partition)
12. Reboot if process is done.

Cheers. Every thing is done...
