If you can find a recipe to boot a standard Linux distro (Ubuntu, Red Hat,
Gentoo, whatever) from Windows Bootloader, then the same instructions should
work for Android.

You tell us what you tried and what failed; we might be able to suggest what
to change.

If you don't give us any detail, we can't give you any.

I tried to install android using android x86 easy installer ,I deleted "Android" entry from boot menu using Easy BCD then I installed NeoGrub and I replaced this file "menu.lst" with I downloaded from the link in description (It was code to make dual boot between Android & Windows)

. Android has been added to the boot menu successfuly but did't work. it says : Android detected at... then nothing happens.

Did you check whether it worked before changing the boot system?

Why?

GRUB can do that for you. Why not use it?

I recommend you start by making sure that Android can run on your machine when
booted in a standard way (eg: using GRUB), and only then start changing the
boot loader. Otherwise you donh't know whether the boot loader you have
installed is causing the problem, or whether Android has some other problem on
your particular hardware.

What is your objection to using GRUB on your computer?

What type of machine do you have - what CPU does it have, what GPU does it
have, and how much RAM does it have?

I have Toshiba Satellite it has Intel Graphics HD 4000, Intel Core-i3 and has 4GB of RAM...Note : Why did I do that method? (Installing NeoGrub entry and replacing menu.lst) because I saw that on YT some body did that and worked with him
 I checked if it will work or not before changing boot system but did't work so I had to do that method and also it didn't work :(

What Android-x86 version did you use exactly?
Does it boot in live mode?

What's the content of menu.lst?
