mlweber91 Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 (edited) I have no idea what is going wrong. I am a nuubzorr to the max. I am trying to do a vmware to native installation (because I don't have a dvd-burner). I have a Dell Inspirion e1405 (laptop) with an intel core solo t1350, which I've found conflicting information on about whether it has SSE3, but from what I understand it does. According to the wiki I have one of the best compatible laptops for osx86. I am using JaS.10.4.8.SSE3.Intel.Only. I selected winnt as the guest because it was mentioned to work in the wiki. I am using independant-persistant disks and everything mentioned. The result is the same with an emulated disk. Is the problem my computer? or vmware? with this release? PS- I've seen reports about "bad" jas10.4.8 seeds, but I checked my md5sums and I have the reseeded version. When I try to start the VM I get this: Edited February 25, 2007 by mlweber91 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/43558-please-dont-hurt-me/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korrupted Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Run CPU-Z in Windows to see for sure if you have SSE2/SSE3. http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/43558-please-dont-hurt-me/#findComment-311297 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlweber91 Posted February 25, 2007 Author Share Posted February 25, 2007 (edited) Thanks for the cpuz suggestion but, Any other ideas? I'm getting JaS.10.4.8.AMD.Intel.SSE2.SSE3 right now to see if that will work better. Does my current image simply not support vmware?

FlipHDK Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Depending on what you downloaded you might have to download a PPF patch ( around 600mb). And patch the iso image of the JaS.10.4.8.AMD.Intel.SSE2.SSE3 iso Also you do have a SSE3 capable processor.

Ferret-Simpson Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 "I am a nuubzorr to the max. " No. Kidding. You're also clearly 12. Anyway, have you considered abandoning VMWARE and just running natively? the Gparted livecd can resize your windows drive to give you a little free space for the OS X partition. It'll be faster too.

mlweber91 Posted February 26, 2007 Author Share Posted February 26, 2007 Is it not okay to use a little bit of humor to make up for my self-consciousness about being new? If you were actually trying to help me and not simply throw a reply together as fast as you could to ridicule me, you would have noticed that I do not have a DVD-burner at the moment, and therefore VMware is my only option. Further detail shows that I am doing a VMware-to-native install, where the VMware is just used to install. Also, for the record, I already HAVE used the gparted livecd to resize my C: drive. (That's /dev/sda1 for you "intelligent" people.) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/43558-please-dont-hurt-me/#findComment-311483 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korrupted Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Keep on topic, please. Which version of VMWARE are you running? I think, but don't quote me on this, that some VMWARE builds are sketchy at best when using OSX86. Also, could you post what the Mainboard section of CPU-Z has listed? That might be another contributing factor. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/43558-please-dont-hurt-me/#findComment-311580 Share on other sites More sharing options...
