Mirko Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 I've got JAS 10.4.8 working on a 10gb/512MB VM. The installation took bl00dy ages. Still, I'm not happy because it feels terribly slow. My PC is a Compaq Presario V5000. Sempron 3400+, 1.5gb RAM, 80gb HD + 500gb USB HD (where the VM image is). Broadcomm wireless and the dreaded ATI Radeon XPress 200m (A.K.A. x200). I'm Running VMWare and Windows XP. According to CPU-Z, my Sempron has SSE3 support. Some time ago I managed to get JAS 10.4.6 working in a Gateway 7422GX which recognized everything but the built-in ethernet and the USB ports. That time it also took a couple days to install and get it working. Though that Athlon 64 had no SSE3 support, it worked flawlessly. I wouldn't like to go through that again. I've got a second laptop hard drive (80gb) hooked to another USB adapter. It's got Windows Vista, but I want to partition it and double-boot 10.4.8. Is there a way to simply clone my virtual partition into that one, just like Norton Ghost does?

~pcwiz Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 This guide shows how to install OS X THROUGH VMware onto a partition that can be booted natively: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=11314 But if you want to clone the VMware image onto a real partition, the only method I know is to use the dd.exe. It involves linking a VMDK virtual disk file to a IMG image, then reinstalling OS X onto the IMG, and then using DD.exe to write the IMG file onto a partition. Either way, you're gonna have to reinstall OS X so pull out those install DVDs and reinstall natively Good luck pcwiz BTW, if you need any help installing natively, feel free to post back.
