newprouser Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Hello everyone , I was looking forward to install Lion on my PC with the following specs. Intel C2D E7200 2.53 GHz Intel DG35EC Motherboard 160 GB SATA HDD DVD 18x IDE NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT But I'm facing various issues : To prepare the installation of Lion's setup files, I need to have access to OS X installation or use a VMware image. I do not have access to another mac or know anyone else having one. As for the VMware image, I got an image of OS X 10.6.8 , but since my processor doesn't support virtualization I'm not able to run it in VMware. I ignored the (virtualization) warning in VMware (by changing OS to other) and continued to run the image but it results in the "Invalid front-side bus frequency 66000000 Hz." error. Setting various "busratio"' during boot didn't help either. So is there any other means to prepare setup files / install the Lion ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nofearl Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 There are some USB/DVD torrents ready to install, one of them might work for you.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richtig Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 What I did (using Windows): install PowerISO & the MacDrive trial version (good for 5 days). The Lion "Golden Master" torrents are all in the .dmg file format. But PowerISO will allow conversion to the .iso format, which can then be burned to disc in Windows.
