AuroraIRL Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 My system is the Dell xps 15z (L511Z) with the following spec: PROCESSOR 2nd generation Intel Core™ i7-2620M processor 2.70 GHz with Turbo Boost 2.0 up to 3.40 GHz VIDEO CARD NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 525M 2GB graphics with Optimus MEMORY 8GB Shared Dual Channel DDR3 1333MHz Memory INTERNAL OPTICAL DRIVE 8X Slot Load CD/DVD Burner (Dual Layer DVD+/-R Drive) WIRELESS + BLUETOOTH Intel© Centrino© Advanced-N 6230 & Bluetooth 3.0 BATTERY OPTIONS 64 WHr 8-Cell Lithium Ion Primary Battery SOUND OPTIONS Waves Maxx Audio 3 HD DISPLAY Elemental Silver Aluminum 15.6" HD (720P) WLED Display with Webcam HARD DRIVE 750GB 7200 RPM SATA Hard Drive KEYBOARD Backlit Keyboard - English Integrated Network Adapter Integrated 10/100/1000 Network Card I followed the guide which got me to download Snow Leopard 10.6.6 by Hazard and Snowy_Vmware_files. Followed the guide perfectly and got past the initial installation. Then when I reset the VM with the darwin_snow iso i get the error message: "The CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system. You will need to power off or reset the virtual machine at this point." Now I've googled the problem and read many old threads about it, but am still unable to find a solution. Can someone help me rectify this problem ? Or recommend to me another guide that is proven to work with my hardware.
