I installed Android x86, but now I get an error message by GRUB, it says:

error: unknown filesystem
grub rescue>

I installed it over Zorin OS on sda3 or sda4, but now I want to access Windows Vista but I can't because It won't boot.

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

f your boot drive is /dev/sda, "lilo -M /dev/sda" will clear the MBR with a std one.
(type without the quotes)

From a DOS boot, "fdisk /mbr" does the same.

every android x86 image may not run on evry hardware. give some specs of your hardware, pc model and android x86 iso which you are using.
