Wuzzie Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 I did it yester day. I t was really easy. I used a disk image but I did NOT use Vmware's in-built disk image mounting option when addign hardware to the machine. I've heard it can be dodgy. This is how I did it: 1. I downloaded VirtualCloneDrive from Slysoft (or use an other disk image mounting utility) and mounted my disk image with it. 2. Opened VMware and made a new machine. I selected Other, Other. for the OS. 3. Chose the add hardware option when I had created my virtual machine. I selected CD-ROM drive, and chose PHYSICAL DRIVE. I selected my VirtualCloneDrive, in my case it was I:/ 4. Power on the virtual machine. When I installed I used "-v -x Platform=X86PC" 5. I erased virtual disk in teh disk utility and installed OS X to it. make sure you select the patches in teh intsllation options part. I skipped the installation disk check part. 6. When I booted I got the "b0 error" I went back to VirtualCloneDrive and I mounted the gParted liveCD (google for it) 6 II. I booted up VMware and pressed escape and chose boot to CD. when it loaded I selected the partition, right clicked and selected "manage flags" and ticked boot. I restarted teh virtual machine. 7. This time it loaded up perfectly, when through the set up Mac OS X process and most of teh stuff worked. I dont have a network connection because I didn't set one up when creatign the virtual machine, and it cried about some Sound driver plugin kext. Conclusion: OS X in VMware is good. It lets you fiddle with OS X to see it is right for you, But I wouldn't recommend using it like it was native, it's too slow for that and maty be difficult to set up for network, etc. Good luck!

Deepblue Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Did you add the line paevm="TRUE" to .vmx file? I always met a pae problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wuzzie Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 I didn't for my installation, but I know others have needed to. To be on teh safe side you may as well... PS: If you get a lot of problems installing, I suggest you re-download the disk image. My JaS DVD came across so many problems so I just cut the {censored} and re-downloaded it.... ...It works perfectly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fischerms80 Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 I have tried both jas and one other recent os x 10.4.6 X86 mac os install dvd image & dvd burned one at 4x and the other 8x under both VMWARE 5.5 then 5.5. Also did the paper clip on pins 1 & 12 & switch to 10 & 14. All {censored} out on the following message: *** VMware Workstation internal monitor error (bug 9297) *** The guest operating system you are running is using the Physical Address Extension (PAE) processor option. For more information about running PAE enabled guest operating systems please consult http://www.vmware.com/info?id=28 What is the fix or am just have wait till I get a core duo system (or buy a mac mini...)

Rammjet Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 The guest operating system you are running is using the Physical Address Extension (PAE) processor option. For more information about running PAE enabled guest operating systems please consult http://www.vmware.com/info?id=28 Did you do what is specified in posting #3 ?

Fischerms80 Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Latest update: OS X is up & running - did not use VMWARE. Used the paper clip jumper on pins 10 & 14 of the VGA connector & acronis disk director suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fischerms80 Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Latest update on the OS X on the Dell Inspiron 2200. Can not use the big 10.4.8 update that is floating around on the hackintosh links with MAXXUS 10.4.6 it will kill it every time. I used the following to up date to 10.4.8 1. JaS.10.4.7.Update.(Intel) 2. JaS 10.4.8 SSE2 Intel Life is good right now. It would be nice if Paralles would work with physical disk partitions like vmware. Vmware will not boot the this install of mac os x 10.4.8. Still hung up on the PAE issue. Oh well I guess you can't have everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fischerms80 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Previous poster CPU is close to My CPU (Intel Pentium M Process 1.60GZ) The fix will have to come from the VMWARE Gods/Gurus. It had hang ups with PAE which this series of Pentiums do not support but does seem to cause any issues with native boot of OS X.

compufreak Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 hey, I had the same prob. it doesn't help to change it in the config file of vmware. you will have to change it in the boot.ini file on your (c:) drive. "example" [boot loader] timeout=30 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Windows Server 2003, Enterprise" /fastdetect /PAE (it could be possible that the hardware is not compatible and that it will not boot) don't worry boot up in save mode and remove the /PAE from the boot.ini file. good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishbone Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Could someone take me through writing a boot ini with windows xp on part 1 and the osx part placed at part 2?
