Good evenig to all:
I started whit a poyect which objective is boot linux distros, windows instalations and technicals tools like hirens boot in a flash drive, 2 weeks ago, i finaly could make it with the proyect "Easy2Boot" (http://www.rmprepusb.com/tutorials/72---easyboot---a-grubdos-multiboot-drive-that-is-easy-to-maintain/e2bv1).
The subject i want to talk is abouth lunch the project "Android x86". I read in the webpage is posible, but so far i tried with 2 types of code:

One load the iso in ram, just doesnt work.

On the other hand, y could decompress the image and loaded whit grub4dos, but the screen stills in "Detected Android-x86..... found in dev/sda0", pormpts the word ANDROID and doesnt do nothing more...

I dont know what to do, im all ears

PD 1: Im sorrry if i cant make me understand, its my first time writing in english

PD 2: I left my code so you can analize it.

ISO:
map  /_ISO/TOOLBOX/android43.iso (0xff) || map --mem /_ISO/TOOLBOX/android43.iso (0xff)
map --hook
root (0xff) || rootnoverify (0xff)
chainloader (0xff)
boot

DECOMPRESSED:
kernel /android43/kernel quiet root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=android_x86 video=-16 SRC=/android43 vga=791 DATA=sda3 initrd /android43/initrd.img

Easy2Boot essentially uses this grub4dos menu

title Boot Android from ISO
set ISO=/_ISO/MAINMENU/android-x86-4.3-20130725.iso
partnew (hd0,3) 0x00 %ISO%
map %ISO% (0xff) || map --mem %ISO% (0xff) || map --mem --heads=0 --sectors-per-track=0 %ISO% (0xff)
map --hook
root (0xff) || rootnoverify (0xff)
chainloader (0xff)

WARNING: This menu will destroy the 4th partition entry on your USB drive. Make sure your USB drive has 1 to 3 partitions only! if you don't understand what this means then do not use this menu!
