niles_krane Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Hello, Im trying to see if mac osx will work on my laptop before i mess around with partitions and loose my current XP installation. So i am using VMWare and installing OSX onto a virtual drive. The installation goes fine, and i choose the update packages "Intel Base" and "SSE 2" as i have a intel centrino in my laptop (Only SSE2). After installation completes and it restarts i can only get as far as the blue screen where it says "OSX Starting", then the CPU load goes to 100% and all HDD activity stops. Ive left it in this state for 30mins and still no movement (more the 30mins and my processor will melt a hole in my table!) This is the screen i am left with: Has anyone had any similar problems or a solution to this? im going mad as ive been trying this for a week now!
