Rayquaza Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Hello, Last week i ordered a new PC, and i've installed Mac OS X on it. But my programs must run under Windows XP. So i've uninstalled Hack OS X and i've installed WinXP. Then I've installed Hack OS X again, under VMware, but its too slow under it. My question is: can i start my PC from the virtual hd from VMware (like BeOS). Greetz, Nico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=11314 Also, learn about bootloaders that allow you to select which OS to boot when you start up. Both Windows and OSX have built in bootloaders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rammjet Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 If you are already booted into Windows and running VMWare then you can boot virtual hard drives including OSX within the VMWare environment. But I don't know of any solution to boot the computer itself from a virtual hard drive. Maybe Virtual PC (for PC, not OSX) from MS? Doubt it though. Maybe some company like Citrix?

Rayquaza Posted December 3, 2006 Author Share Posted December 3, 2006 like an boot-cdrom, that open the virtual hd file and start this without vmware and windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baltazar Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 This would indeed på a cool thing if it worked, I doubt there is such a solution though. The closest thing you will get is probobly the OS X LiveDVD that is going on in the X-Labs section on this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
