Hi,

 

I got Uphuck 1.4iR3 working using this method:

 

* Got an external drive

* Installed Uphuck natively on it

* Booted back into Win XP

* Made a new VM in VMware Workstation 6 and set it to boot from my USB drive

 

And it booted with no problems in VMware but I don't know if its going to work without an external drive so my question: Is there any way to clone an image of the HD and use it to boot from VMware?

Well here is a roundabout way that we used to use in the 10.4.1 days:

 

1) Under your host OS, dd your partition to a file on a partition that is readable under Linux. (NTFS is ok)

You can get dd for Windows here:

http://www.chrysocome.net/dd

example dd if=\\?\Device\Harddisk1\Partition1 of=yourfilename

 

2) Start your virtual machine, but boot it off an image of a Linux rescue CD (I use 1st install disk from SUSE 10.2 & boot rescue system)

Make sure it has a hard disk partition exactly the same size as the partition of your removable disk. Partition should be made active but does

not need to be formatted.

 

3) Mount the partition yourfilename is on, not the partition you are writing to.

 

4) Use dd to copy yourfilename to your intended partition

example dd if=yourfilename of=\dev\hda1

 

5) Reboot your virtual machine off your copied partition.

I got upchuck 10.4.9i installed in VMware by simply mixing two guides together:

 

http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Vmware_how_to

and

http://######.com/software/vmwareosx86.htm

 

 

But both are wrong in certain places.

 

To correctly install this upchuck ersion on VMware6 you need to

 

1) Custon

2) WindowsNT

3) Unknown which networking works, Bridged/Host Only

4) IDE Virtual Disk Type

5) Adding paevm="true" / ethernet0.virtualDev="e1000" /guestOS = "darwin"

6) Mount the Upchuck ISO within VMWare

7) Use DiskUtil to partition. Choose options and select MBR(ms-dos)

8) Only need to select the Main install file.

 

 

 

It installed in 3 minutes and booted to the desktop.

 

Only problem is trying to get networking working, but I'll leave that to another thread. The install works.
