m4778 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I have Leopard 10.5.5(iDeneb) installed as a virtual machine in VMware as we speak and it runs very well under my windows 7. But i want to boot to it so that it can utilize my full computer for OSX. I am aware of and have tried (and failed) at installing directly using an iAtkos v7 install dvd (couldnt get past the grey apple screen). So my question is, is there an easy way to somehow take this virtual machine which i already have working well, and make it a bootable OS from say an external hard drive or another partition on my computer. Any help is much appreciated Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/216076-installing-leopard-from-vmware-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help is much appreciated you cannot use the vm disk file to boot natively.. In vmware you have option to install the os on a physical drive so that you can boot the OS X natively..... The following tutorial will help you.. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...=176857&hl= Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/216076-installing-leopard-from-vmware-help/#findComment-1452629 Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4778 Posted April 21, 2010 Author Share Posted April 21, 2010 alright thanks a lot for the info, can i assume that the iDeneb distro that i have installed in vmware will work well with my hardware natively since it runs great in vmware? or does that not prove anything Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/216076-installing-leopard-from-vmware-help/#findComment-1453033 Share on other sites More sharing options...
