xxhiroshi21xx Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Now this might seem a little crazy, but a little lightbulb went off in my head.. I heard that you can go and install OS X to a real hard drive, using VMWare.. Now, I have stumbled across a few things here, first one is this... http://www.fs-driver.org/, and http://www.chrysocome.net/explore2fs, now stick with me for a moment, I'm not done yet.. what if.. you were able to mount your WUBI virtual volume in Windows, AND THEN, point VMWare to it, since the loop files are already in place, what's keeping us from ironing out a way to boot OS X from a virtual volume, using the boot loopback similar to Wubi. Now don't dismiss this without thinking it through, I'm not expert and this seems fairly reasonable to me... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#How%20can...0from%20Windows? Come on guys, let's put our heads together and come up with something, if we can move a bootable OS X installation to a virtual drive using VMWare thinking it's a physical volume, then whats keeping the loopback boot device from picking up the Darwin bootloader when you choose it from the boot system that's installed in Windows? How Wubi works if you guys haven't tried it yet, it creates a virtual hard drive on your disk, it can then somehow boot from that device using a loopback boot method... However we might run into a problem with Darwin detecting NTFS volumes..
