nano_tube Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Unless money is a huge issue, you should really get a SATA HD and DVD-RW. The costs are extremely low and it will enable you to run both OS X and Windows on the same computer both in dual boot (Chameleon boot loader) and in virtual machines on OS-X. I too had an IDE DVD-RW and I bought me a simple SATA LG burner. Cost me around 25$US and that was it. I run Leopard and Win7 on my HackPro. On Leopard I also run VMWare 3 and Parallels 5. On VMWare 3 I run Win7, Win-XP and Ubuntu. On Parallels 5 I run Win7. I am using iDeneb 10.5.8. These Hackintoshes are just a ton of fun, you'll be able to use all the benefits of all OSs and geek around for hours. As for your question, I have no idea how to run OS-X a Windows VMWare Machine but I think that the server version of OS-X is supported in VMWare Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/199142-help-install-mac-os-x-leopard-or-snow-leopard-on-vmware-windows-7/#findComment-1340187 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konio Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 i wish i could by sata burners at that price in my country but in here a used sata burner with no DL would cost me at least, 30 to 35 $ minimal.
