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!*
