I try to install "Android-x86 4.4r2" on my "Lenovo Thinkpad

Post by patchie »

I have a "lenovo Thinkpad Tablet 8" with a Intel Atom, 2gb ram, 128gb SSD and win 8.1 pro.
I have installed virtualbox and downloaded android-x86-4.4-r2.iso
I boot the VM, and it goes into the first menu, where i can choose to install or run live cd, but when i choose one of those 4 options, it just restarts
any idea what can be wrong?

Thanks in advance

Android is not a supported guest, however there are other websites that give detailed tutorials on how to get one working, perhaps you should Google for them.

If you want to continue here then provide: Minimum information needed for assistance.

Just yesterday I was able to install Android on Virtualbox. I run Linux Mint 17 on a T61 ThinkPad and used this link: http://www.howtogeek.com/164570/how-to- ... irtualbox/
The OS version I chose was for ThinkPads (4th one down on the list of Android-x86 versions). Now I have to figure out how to move files into this system. Anyone done this yet?
