kenascher Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I can't install natively, because I don't own a usb keyboard, so the installation wont load because it's a laptop, and i get the ps/2 error. When I tried to install through vmware osx wouldn't recognize my hard drive, only the dvdrom. When I went to disk utility, it wasn't their either. The hard drive was formatted properly and set to AF, etc. Does anybody know something I did wrong, or another solution to installing osx? Anything would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

nylock10 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 You might want to use Hiren's Boot CD to partition your HD and make a second partition for Mac OS X (make it FAT32 primary), then in VMWare make sure you select the entire hard drive. You might be able to install that way. Can you borrow a friend's keyboard?
