You can run XP on your device and this technique will surely impress your friends. For doing this project you need
certain things to be done which are given below and the other thing is that if
your phone is rooted then this is not going to work and if your phone lags due
to low RAM ie, less than 500MB then you don't need to run it because it is
going to make your system very slow.
Requirment

First create a blank image file in
Bochs on your PC and for that what you have to do is that go to Start and open
up Bochs> and then Disk image creation tool and then the new tab with black
screen appears as shown below.

In that you have to type hd and press
enter and after that it go to the next line here you have to type flat and it
will ask the size. Here you have to type 1500 and then type in c.img and then
press the enter key.
Next thing is that you have to install
Windows XP on blank .img file using Qemu manager, then open up the Qemu manager
the screen shot of which is given below.
After opening up the Qemu manager,
click on the VM on the top left side and select new virtual machine. Its
screenshot of it can be seen above. Then a sub tab appears as shown in the
image and type out any name that you need in the first box and hit next.
Now in
the new tab you can locate the desired RAM that you want to change and change
it to 1 Giga hertz and hit finish. Now what you want to do is install XP to
your blank image file. So what you want to do is click on drives on the left
top side and find out the c.img file from the drives. Usually the c.img file
will be seen at the C drive> Program files > flash > and change view
to all files and your c.img file will be seen select the file and click Okay.
Next thing you have to do is find out
the Window XP.iso file and click Ok. If you don't have iso file then you need
to download a software called Poweriso and by the process given in this article
you can convert it to ISO file. After selecting the iso file click on the run
button on the top left side which is of green color and the system changes to a
blue screen, the image is given below.
After changing the screen to blue
color and loading would take about 45 minutes or about an hour depending on how
fast your computer is and right now it will be running on a virtual machine.
Wait till the loading finishes and after that start the installation and a
couple of options comes out choose from. Choose ntfs file system and then the
installation will take place and it will take few minutes to complete.
When the installation is finished, the
next thing you have to do is that you have to stop the virtual machine, for
that press the red button on the top left and click Ok. And then you have to
find the c.img file and transfer it to phone. For that find out the c.img file
from the local disk as mentioned above and copy the file and paste the file in
the SDL folder on the SD card. And after that go to the link I have given below
and copy the text with code given and paste it in the boch.txt file in the SDL
folder on the SD card.
The next thing you have to do is turn
on your phone and take out the application Bosh which has been installed on
your device and everything will run pretty nice in landscape mode and one thing
you must remember is that it will be not as fast as your personal computer and
you need a lot of patience for the loading to finish for the first time. After
loading is finished you may be in a black display screen for a little bit time
and there you must wait for few minutes and then you can run XP on your Android
device. Actually it takes about nearly 10 minutes to load up XP on the Android
device. After starting up XP on Android you can do anything on it and you can
move the curser by scrolling on the screen.
