VernGully Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 I am trying to install VMWare Fusion on a Hackintosh (10.4.10/8.10.1/Intel). With the intention to boot Vista on a different hard drive. Am I going down a beaten dead-end? Attempt 1: Installed VMWare Fusion from image... Grey Multi-language Restart - Kernel Panic. Attempt 2: Installed VMWare Fusion using Pacifist... Worked. Sorta. It saw "Boot Camp Partition". However, will not let me put in a legit 30-day serial to even boot up "Boot Camp Partition". Anyone get this to work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jharleman Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 I would actually like to run Parallels on a Hackentosh and then be able to boot either physically or VM. I know this works on Macs. Any experience here? http://forum.parallels.com/thread16064.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VernGully Posted September 18, 2007 Author Share Posted September 18, 2007 That is exactly what I want to do! I installed Parallels 3, but I'm afraid it will mess up my Vista (it's only Home Premium). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
u4ia24 Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 hey! same thing here! using osx86/hackintos 10.4.11 with kernel 8.9.1. i cant finish installing fusion 1.1 coz it freezes before it completes. so i just install it using pacifist. boot camp is detected but i cant enter a valid serial. i think it's because of hackintosh/osx86.. any solution? cant seem to find any info about this.. thanks!

skyhighmac Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 To let you know, Parallels WILL mess up your windows system, that then makes it unable to boot (might have been becuase I quit because it replaces some files). Last time I checked, I had no problem installing paralles. I didn't like it and got rid of it within ten minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgirl Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I had no problems running XP Physical Disk and neither Vista with fusion, even on my AMD hackintosh, I know Fusion is a {censored} withs ome on the installation or the serial number issues. The only issue I found is that the mouse need replace of drivers because it conflicts with each other (Fusion/Parallels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
