Will Ryan Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 I successfully installed osx86 through VMware onto my computer! w00t!. Problem now is that I don't know how to make my computer boot from the partition so it'll run osx. It runs fine in vmware workstation. When I go to Partition Magic, a balloon pops up that says something about I have a corrupt file. Also, the partition osx is installed on's format is now "Type 07." And I can't right click>advanced>make active cuz that's greyed out. What can I do? Also, I don't know if this is because it's in vmware, but in osx, it says I don't have an internet connection. Oh yeah, one more thing. I saw the topic, but I saw many different ways. So, did anyone find a way to get itunes 7 to run on osx86?

Will Ryan Posted September 15, 2006 Author Share Posted September 15, 2006 Ok, I'll check out that thread. As for internet, I don't know much about it. I have SBC/AT&T DSL. And I'm running on SSE2, so I'll look where you said. Thanks a lot for your help!

Rammjet Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 As for internet, I don't know much about it. I have SBC/AT&T DSL. Uhh...the device. Ethernet device. Wireless device. Whichever you connect to the internet with. Brand. Model number.

Will Ryan Posted September 15, 2006 Author Share Posted September 15, 2006 Ummm. I'm not sure. I plug a phone line into my computer, and I have this tower looking thing called "2 wire." Router perhaps? Also, I'm using VMware, and I used that tutorial you posted, then I'm just hitting stop in VMware, then restart my entire computer, but it still doesn't work.

Rammjet Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Ummm. I'm not sure. I plug a phone line into my computer (shaking head). The device in the computer. Since you said you have DSL and you are plugging in a "phone line", you must be using your ethernet port and the "phone line" is an ethernet cable and the "tower/router" is your DSL modem. Also, I'm using VMware, and I used that tutorial you posted, then I'm just hitting stop in VMware, then restart my entire computer, but it still doesn't work. What I wrote in the other thread: Everything that you typed in fdisk looks correct and the responses from fdisk look correct. What doesn't look right is that under "diskutil list", the 2nd partition says it is NTFS. If that is the OSX partition, it shouldn't say that. Did you format the OSX partition in Disk Utility during the installation?

Will Ryan Posted September 15, 2006 Author Share Posted September 15, 2006 Ok, so what should I do for the internet? And if you mean go to disk utility>click the hard drive>erase, then yes, i did that. Is it the wrong partition or something?

Rammjet Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 All I know is that you tried to set partition 2 (f 2) as active and partition 2 is listed as NTFS in your picture under the "diskutil list" section.
