Morning Guys,

I have VMware.Workstation.9.0.1 (i used unlock-all-v110 to get Apple OSX to show up on VMWare9) and i am trying to install OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion Retail VMware Image on it but i keep running into...

"EFI VMware Virtual IDE CDROM Drive (IDE 1:0) ... unsuccessful"

How do I fix this? let me know if you need more info from me.

I don't seem to understand what I am looking at through those links? My file is an ISO already, it is not a .dmg

I am new to all this so none of it makes sense to me.... Blah, thanks for trying to help though. Wish someone can make it much easier to understand.

No silver platter, you need to invest a bit of your own time to learn.
Which bit is too difficult to understand:

One CDROM is IDE & the second one is SCSI Legacy emulation

Boot to EFI Shell, change to IDE CDROM, run boot -v npci=0x2000

VM will boot from IDE, but then mount SCSI CDROM & carry on with installation
