Sune Radich Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 I've been searching the net and various forums for help or just information about how to install Mac X86 as a Guest OS on my Windows XP using Parallels. I havent found anyone with the same setup as myself. What I want: I have a Windows XP install running, and I have installed Parallels and in that have Ubuntu running just fine. I then want to install Mac X86 as another Guest OS. When I try to start the patched ISO (JaS) Parallels crash when loading Darwin. I can see the grey screen with the apple logo, but thats it. Is it because my ISO is not patched/corrupted? Or is it simply not possible to install X86 as a guest OS in Parallels? Any help would be greatly appreciated Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/45025-installing-x86-on-a-winxp-using-parallels/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
munky Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 It works in VMWare, why not try that? EDIT: also, does your machine meet the minimum req's for osx86? As in.. SSE2 at least?

Sune Radich Posted March 12, 2007 Author Share Posted March 12, 2007 Yes, my machine should meet all requirements. I guess I could try to install it using VMware, I just never used that software.

Sune Radich Posted March 13, 2007 Author Share Posted March 13, 2007 Now I've looked alittle closer at VMWare, and from what I can see, I need to buy it in order to make the virtual machines?
