Rammjet Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 If this is a desktop machine, make sure your hard drive and DVD drive are on the same cable and that the hard drive is set as master and the DVD drive is set to slave using jumpers, not using cable select. If you are on a laptop or the above doesn't fix things, then consider installing through VMWare in Windows. After installation, you won't need to run VMWare to boot OSX: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=11314 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronikondo Posted December 1, 2006 Author Share Posted December 1, 2006 Hi Thank you all for your answers. I would like to install the mac 0SX jaS (4.6 GB) on my Celeron laptop. Will the software on the added picture do the trick for the installation? If it will, how should I use it? since I don’t have the slightest idea what software it is. thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vedo Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Hi yeah it will work, it does work to me. But its to slow. But it works than you gotta try to install Mac osx86 on an other HHD (A physical drive) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 No, don't think so. You are downloading an old 10.4.1 OSX image saved as a VMWare disk image. You want to install the VMWare software in Windows and use that to install OSX. The VMWare package is about 91 MB (not 1.28 GB) and would be named something like: VMware Workstation 5.5.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rammjet Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Burn the iso to DVD or use the Daemon Tools that you downloaded (posting #9) to mount the iso as a virtual drive and then point VMWare to the virtual drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
