Autifon Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 VMware cannot handle HFS+ in a correct way. Use Daemontools to mount the image to a virtual drive, and use that virtual drive as "physical" drive for VMware Autifon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

domino Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Great! thanks for the feedback. Okay, were you able to make it NOT boot into vmware on first boot? What I mean is, when you restart it after the install, mount the partition or drive as if it were installing native from an actual DVD-ROM. I don't want it to load any of the vmware drivers.

chenjau Posted September 7, 2005 Author Share Posted September 7, 2005 My english is bad ,so maybe I can't understand well ,But I'll tell you what I do. after finishing install in vmware , I turn vmware off not restart,and restart my real computer ,and let mac boot from real disk I have , It's working perfectly, I'm not sure the vmware drivers were taking or weren't taking in mac system By using this way. I hope this could be some help to you,domino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velvet Nightmare Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 You are using the newest version of everything, correct? One of the most major causes of checksum errors is outdated software... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domino Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 thanks VN. i'll update UI and WR, but i'm farely sure I have the most updated versions. The Release 1 patch and orig dmg check just fine. I always trip up on the checksum when I convert the dmg to ISO. I hope updating solves my nighmare lol. no pun intended.

domino Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 It seams you were right Velvet Nightmare. My demo version of UltraIso was only 3 weeks old. Seams like the newer version works and completed all MD5 checks. cheerios! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hdavy2002 Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 ok , i managed to start vmware and i saw the apple boot icon. Now the ring on the apple goes on for a minute and then it ask me to shut down computer and restart in apple installation. How do I do this (set vmware to use a whole physical drive aswell as the 4gb vmware drive that the installer was running on) How do i make the whole hard drive avaialbale to vmware? I have a spare HD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenjau Posted September 8, 2005 Author Share Posted September 8, 2005 I think you shall check your hardware first ,some chips can't work . search forum here you will get the answer. and you mounted the iso using daemon-tools and set vmware use physical dvd-rom you mounted? good luck;) Chenjau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
