Have you ever thought that your android mobile can run Windows XP .Many of us own an Android mobile and even boast about it but we never use it to it maximum potential in terms of various tasks that can be done by it.Most of the time our usage never go beyond Facebook,Whatsapp and few addictive games..
Here is a guide that I found in the net about installing windows on android mobile using Bochs emulator which will be very useful
Requirments
Bootable .iso Copy of Windows XP
Download and Install Qemu Manager on your Windows
Download Blank DISK .img file
Download SDL.zip
Download and Install Bochs for your Android
Getting Started
Congratulations. So you want to run Windows XP on your Android device. The process is pretty easy and only takes around 30 minutes, but the time may vary depending on your computer speed. To get started, you will need to have a .iso format of Windows XP (bootable iso file).
Step 1:
First, let's unzip the SDL Zip. Then transfer the SDL folder root of your SDcard.
Step 2: Installing Windows to IMG File via Qemu Manager
First, on your computer open up Qemu manager.
(Start- All Programs - Qemu Mnager).
Go to the tab that says VM and click "Create New Virtual Machine" Give it a name, click next.
For ram space, generally between 512mb to 1gb is good. This is the ram space it will utilize while you install it on your pc, nothing to do with the ram that will be available on your phone. Afterwards click finish.
Extracting IMG File
Now, let's extract the c.zip folder you downloaded earlier. There should be a file inside that's 1.5GB.
Installing IMG File:
Now, in Qemu Manager, you need to specify the blank img file to use for HD0 (Hard Drive Zero). Go to the drives tab, then HD0 and find the "c.img" you just extracted; hit okay.
Now go to the CDROm option and search for your Windows XP.iso file. Once you find it, hit okay. Then go to the little green arrow at the top, and click it (Run Button). Boom it should be running!
Installing XP
Now what you want to do is run through the installation (it will take nearly an hour depending on your computer) until Windows XP is installed. Once the installation finishes you can exit.

Transferring
Great, now that Windows XP is installed on the IMG file you're ready to transfer it to your phone. Connect your phone in USB storage mode (or MTP). Next, extract the SDL.zip that you downloaded earlier, and transfer it to the root of your SD Card. Afterwards, transfer your C.img file to the root of your SD card as well.
On your Phone:
Make sure you downloaded Bochs from the Google Play Store. Now launch it, and Windows XP should boot up
