mcq3000 Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 I have the MaC.OsX.10.4.5.Universal.Install.DVD(INTEL_AMD_SSE3_SSE2).iso and I want to use this to install MacOS on a vmware workstation machine. I have seen the different guides for using vmware to install onto a physical drive so you can run it natively but I want to actually run MacOS within WindowsXP. What vmware settings do i put? Do I choose linux or freebsd or what in Linux and just run it, and what if I do will it detect all of vmwares hardware like network drives and so on? also has anyone done this and if so how fast is it? is it usable or so slow it is unusable?

mcq3000 Posted March 25, 2006 Author Share Posted March 25, 2006 anyone? is it possible? I loaded the iso via daemon tools and setup vmware using other but when I bootup the dvd vmware says the disk drive tried to access a funaction via dma but couldnt or something like that. So I cannot even get the dvd installer running. any help on this would be greatly appreciated. thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/12843-how-do-i-install-patched-dvd-in-vmware-55-not-native/#findComment-82963 Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebunny Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 Choose other 'other' OS. Make sure you're booting from the DVD you downloaded (F2 in VMWare BIOS and choose CD-ROM as the boot device). The virtual disk I used is independent-persistent. Make sure it's at least 6GB. Also, try creating a partition in the virtual disk using Linux or Windows with 'diskpart' and setting the partition type as 'af' before attempting to install...

mcq3000 Posted March 31, 2006 Author Share Posted March 31, 2006 I did the diskpart thing and all that and I created a partition like you said. however I still get that message from vmware. I am running the iso via daemontools as I had read that to install the iso I had to use daemontools as the internal vmware iso program doesnt read the iso properly. how do I solve the dma calls thing? thanks also anyone running OSX86 via vmware? how does it run for those that are Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/12843-how-do-i-install-patched-dvd-in-vmware-55-not-native/#findComment-86185 Share on other sites More sharing options...
