Vmware install not working, details inside

[bigeeezee]

Greetings everyone. I'm trying to install osx86 hotiso 10.4.6 on my hp via VMWare.

 

I have two issues. First, everything goes well until its time for the first boot (thru VMWare). When it reboots, I get the "missing operating system" error. I already set the partition to primary and bootable through the mac installer terminal program. I also have the hard drive partition set to independent/persistent. I don't know why this is. Second, and I think this might be my problem, when I stop the virtual machine and try to restart it after the boot fails I get this message along with the 'tone of death'.

 

Cannot open the disk 'C:\Documents and Settings\Reid\My Documents\My Virtual Machines\FreeBSD\FreeBSD (2).vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.

Reason: The partition table on the physical disk has changed since the disk was created. Remove the physical disk from the virtual machine, then add it again.

 

 

What am I doing wrong? I'm pretty sure I'm missing one setting somewhere. Can any of you help a mere mortal out here?

 

 

edit: I looked in that target folder, and the file it wants is right there. In plain sight.

That seemed like a place for people who were done with the install, and wanted to dual boot after successfully doing this, but i guess i just missed it.

 

Thanks man, I'll try there.

 

Peace
