im trying to install mac os x on vmware workstation but instead of using a virutal drive, im using a partition on my internal hard drive. it installs fine, but when i shut down the vmware and try to start up again i get a error message that says the hard drive format has changed and cannot be started ?

 

can you install on a partition or does it have to be on a separate drive by itself ?

 

any help would be appreciated.

afaik, you must create the partition primary partition..

 

i do the same thing, doing installation from VMware

but, i tried first in the vitual drive and it's doing fine...

so i decide to inject osx86 to a real partition.

my partition was primary NTFS, so i just erase it to hfs+ from the osx installer :P

 

after the installation was done, i tried it on vmware and it's definitely NOT WORKING!

so i decided to find the problem...

after huge searching, i finally solve it. <_<

 

how?

just copy the CHAIN0 in the osx installer DVD via windows to C:\

then, edit boot.ini and write a new line

C:\CHAIN0 = "Mac OSX86"

and set the timeout to 10

 

it's working fine with my pc... -_-

reboot the pc and see it.
