MaC.OsX.10.4.5.Universal.Install.DVD(INTEL_AMD_SSE3_SSE2).iso SUCCESS!

[snargledorf]

I got MaC.OsX.10.4.5.Universal.Install.DVD(INTEL_AMD_SSE3_SSE2).iso to install on my system through vmware!!!

 

Ive got a dell dimmension 4300 with 512mb ram and a pentium4 1.6 ghz sse2

 

XP on my 80gb and osx on my 40gb

 

A few fixes for problems i had during this install.

 

The only problems i ran into was.

1. When booting from the disk in vmware (virtual disk) it would stop for a long time and then popup saying that it tried writing with dma or something, whatever i didnt fix the error but i made the wait a whole lot shorter just by changing the mount point of the disk drive in vmware to the second drive on the primary channel (the drive just under the hdd). I still got the error msg but it pops up in only a second or were as before it took about 5 minutes.

 

2. I install fine and reboot. In order to reboot to the hdd in vmware without the system freezing and saying it stopped the proccessor i had to simply boot to the dvd again and just open the boot options and enter the root of your hdd ('rd=disk0s1' in my case since i am useing my whole hdd). you will then boot to your hdd.

 

3. Finish the install and then you should be able to reboot your computer and boot into osx(i used the windows boot.ini method).

 

Sound doesnt work but im not gunna cry about it.

 

Proccessor comes up as 3 ghz

 

everything runs smoothly and almost all apps work.

 

and thoughs are just a few tips i can give from expirience

 

happy modding
