Install Android x86 (Live CD / USB)

Android x86 has implemented easy installer to install android x86 to your harddisk, android has support following partition types (System Files).
1. NTFS (New Technology File System)
2. FAT32 (File Allocation Table 32)
3. Ext3
4. Ext2
That mean you can install it with your windows.

Step by step :
1. Boot from Android x86 installation CD/USB, select "Installation-Install Android to harddisk", as the picture below.

2. After your boot has completed, you will see partitions configuration's dialog. You can select one of your partitions to install Android, or you can create or modify the partitions with select "Create or Modify Partitions". Note : If target drive not shown, try "Detect Devices"

3. Android can be installed side by side with other Operating System, or the data in your selected partition. If partition will be formated, you can select "Do not Format" to save the data in your selected partition. Note type of partition, the selected one must same with ID partition, or boot loader will failed to boot.

also note if you select to formating to FAT32, you will see a warning dialog box, if android can't save all data for FAT32. You still can continue to install, but, the android system that installed will work as Live CD. That mean all data will be lost if the machine has powered off. Therefore, we don't suggest to install Android x86 to FAT32 partitions.

To boot to another Operating System you must add items for that OS in this location  /GRUB/menu.lst. For example, for windows, add the following codes :

        Codes :

      tittle Windows

       rootnoverufy (hd0,0) rootnoverufy (hd0, 0)

       chainloader +1 chainloader +1

This assume if windows installed in the first partition of first harddisk. Or, you must change the rootnoverify to the appropriate values. See GRUB manual for details.
