khuls86 Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Well the problem is that the disk utility won't see the vmware virtual drive I tried formatting it to fat32 and setting it to active but that also won't work. The Disk Utility does see the deamon tools virtual drive though. I made a default profile with the Windows NT profile and following settings: memory: 1024MB hard disk(scsi 0:0) independent-persistent cd-rom (IDE 0:0) Using drive V: ethernet: bridged audio: auto detect virtual processors: 1 I also added the paevm="true" to the config file. I'm running vmware on a core2 duo cpu but that shouldn't make difference on the virtual drive issue. So am i doing something wrong or did i forget anything? Edit: Link to topic The last post solved my problem. So maybe this can also be usefull to others. The problem is located in the scsi vs ide emulating system. Mac OS doesn't really like a scsi virtual drive i think. If you first select FreeBSD it creates an IDE drive and if you change it to WinNT after creating the virtual machine the drive will show up Thanks to BandTrumpet7 who made me realise this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dino Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 OK. Before you install Mac OS X you should create an partition with unallocated disk space. Then create a partition for mac, even if you are using vmware. To do that enter diskpart> start>run> type diskpart and ENTER here enter "list disk" without the quotes if you have more thatn one HDD on yout pc then you need to see wich one you will use for your mac OSX partition when you know select your disk by typing: select disk X (where X is the number of your disk) then type in: list partition you should see your partitions that exists on your selected HDD type: create partition primary size=7007 id=af and press enter after you finish type exit now install Mac OS X, and in INSTALLER...select disk utility from the menu your partition that you have just created will appear. use erase disk tool to obtain your ready to install partition goodluck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
