Here\u2019s  how to create new VM in VMWare:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Create a virtual machine.<\/li>\n<li>Edit virtual machine settings after the virtual machine created.<\/li>\n<li>Choose the hard disk and remove it.<\/li>\n<li>Add a hard disk to create a new virtual disk, then you can choose IDE as your virtual disk type.<\/li>\n<li>When finished, you can install android-x86 normally.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Installation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!--more-->1. Burn the iso image to cdrom, or create a bootable USB disk (recommended). For creating Bootable USB, use <a href=\"http:\/\/unetbootin.sourceforge.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Unetbooting<\/a> (checkout this Howto video) or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.linuxliveusb.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Linux live usb<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.taranfx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/InstallBootSelect.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"InstallBootSelect\" src=\"http:\/\/www.taranfx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/InstallBootSelect_thumb.png\" border=\"0\" alt=\"InstallBootSelect\" width=\"660\" height=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>2. Boot from the Android-x86 installation CD\/USB, choose the \u2018Install Android to harddisk\u2019<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.taranfx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/InstallChoosePartition.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"InstallChoosePartition\" src=\"http:\/\/www.taranfx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/InstallChoosePartition_thumb.png\" border=\"0\" alt=\"InstallChoosePartition\" width=\"644\" height=\"360\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>3. Next we choose the partition where you would install Android x86.  You can create or modify listed partitions. Its even possible to install  Android to an external disk like USB drive. In case your device isn\u2019t  shown in list, try \u2018Detect devices\u2019. The good part is that Android  installation can co-exist with existing Linux partition, without  formatting, provided you\u2019ve ext3 Filesystem on it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.taranfx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/InstallChooseFilesystem.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"InstallChooseFilesystem\" src=\"http:\/\/www.taranfx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/InstallChooseFilesystem_thumb.png\" border=\"0\" alt=\"InstallChooseFilesystem\" width=\"644\" height=\"360\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>4. Next, Android installation asks you to install Grub bootloader.  Choose yes. If there is an NTFS partition in the installed disk, the  installer will ask if you want to create a boot item for Windows. You  would have to add other bootable OSes\u00a0 to<tt>\/grub\/menu.lst<\/tt> manually e.g.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<pre>title Windows    rootnoverify (hd0,0)    chainloader +1<\/pre>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Here first 0 represents Drive and 2nd represents partition number. 0,0 represents first partition of first disk.<\/p>\n<p>Sit back and relax as the installation finishes. You should see a  successful screen like the one below. You are now ready to reboot into  Android!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.taranfx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/InstallProgress.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"InstallProgress\" src=\"http:\/\/www.taranfx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/InstallProgress_thumb.png\" border=\"0\" alt=\"InstallProgress\" width=\"383\" height=\"214\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.taranfx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/InstallComplete.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"InstallComplete\" src=\"http:\/\/www.taranfx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/InstallComplete_thumb.png\" border=\"0\" alt=\"InstallComplete\" width=\"381\" height=\"213\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And there you have it, Up and running:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.taranfx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/froyo-on-pc.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"froyo-on-pc\" src=\"http:\/\/www.taranfx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/froyo-on-pc_thumb.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"froyo-on-pc\" width=\"660\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just like any other OS, Android can be installed on your PC.
