It used to happen to me as well.
Now you know it. The best solution I think (this is how I do it) is to have a known good Practice of keeping tools for
recovery.
1. Before installing Android-x86, you should have any copy of installers from your Linux Mint Quiana, or Ubuntu LTS.
Or better yet, download a copy of
Puppy Linux (I prefer
Slacko, dont use Quirky for these purpose).
Make a Live USB from any of these installer (or Puppy Linux/Slacko).
NOTE:
I suppose that your copy of Linux Mint or Ubuntu Installers are Live Mediums.
though, if your the kind of "Test Linux Distro a lot" and always installs different distros at random,
I prefer for you to use Puppy Linux. Why? Puppy Linux are designed to run portably on a flash drive, CD-ROM, DVD or even on a SD card.
While, Live Installers are really not meant to be used as an always "live mode", therefor might become limited in capabilities.
2. Make sure that your Live USB works. Insert/plug you Live Media and restart your computer.
Check that you can boot from your live media, and that It will boot.
Check if you can connect to the internet using your live media.
3. Install Android-x86. The currrent version is
4.4-r1 (KitKat-x86)
and the distrowatch.com page is
here.
4. Now restart you computer, and run your lately created Live USB.
5. If you used Mint or Ubuntu live installers:
> Open a Terminal.
> From the terminal run this command.
$ sudo grub-install /dev/sda
$ sudo update-grub
If you used puppy linux:
> Open and run Grub4Dos via PuppyMenu > System > Grub4Dos bootloader config.
> Install Grub4Dos on /dev/sda or MBR.
Some Instructions for Grub4dos are here:

If your looking to fix such problems from within Android-x86, I think that would be a bad idea.
This approach will save you a lot because you can fix any same error from any different Linux Distro Installation
and not just for android-x86.
