~pcwiz Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 OS X 10.5 does not work on VMware as of now. So if you get an earlier version like 10.4.8, you can follow my guide: http://######.com/software/vmwareosx86.htm If you get any problems with installing, I am more than glad to help and you don't have to pay (Unless of course you want to make a small donation) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/71988-i-would-pay-osx10_5dmg-and-vmware-setup/#findComment-509886 Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcimo Posted November 18, 2007 Author Share Posted November 18, 2007 Thanks for the reply. THis .DMG file I have, I convert it to ISO as per the instructions..burn it onto a DVD, never the less it wont boot. what am I doing wrong? Here are the instructions that came in the RAR archive. First I would suggest checking your PC's hardware compatibility, by following the steps below: Go here: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/ RAR-Password = thegreatforum.org This guide tells you how to install OSX 10.5.x on your Intel or AMD Windows machine, dual booting with Vista. This guide is for information purposes only. This guide is for SSE3 processors only! Don't know if you have a SSE3 processsor? You can check this with a program called CPU-Z. http://cpuid.com/cpuz.php If your CPU only has SSE2, you can only install up to OSX 10.4.9 MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS - processor that supports at least SSE3 (see above) - prepatched OSX 10.5 install image (see step 1. for more info) - Vista / XP install DVD - chain0 (search google, you'll find it within a few seconds) 1. Get a prepatched OSX 10.5 install image. I've kindly posted links to one below!!!! 2. Burn the image to an empty DVD recordable (+R or –R, no rewritable dvd!) Use your favorite burn program for this (I recommend Nero Burning Rom or Alcohol 120%) 3. Create at least 6GB of unallocated space: - Press the windows logo in the bottom left corner of you screen (assuming that you’re using Windows Vista) - Right click 'My Computer' and select 'manage'.’ - Select 'Disk Management' in the 'Computer Management' screen. - Select a partition with at least 6GB of free space - Right click it and hit shrink volume, type in the amount of space to shrink (at least 6GB) and hit 'Shrink'. - Close all open windows. 4. Hit WINDOWS BUTTON + R and type ‘diskpart’ (without quotes) 5. Type in (press enter after you typed in a line): list disk select disk [the number of your disk] create partition primary id=af list partition select partition [the number of your new osx partition] active (if this doesn't work, try 'set active' without quotes) 6. Insert the OSX install disk and reboot your computer, follow the installation steps on your screen. Read everything carefully and select the right packages! 7. After finishing the installation, OSX should boot up. Play with it for a few moments and then proceed to the next step. 8. Insert your Vista / XP install disk and press reboot. Boot up install disk. 9. After booting the install disk, click repair system and press next. Open the command window and type diskpart. Then type: list disk select disk [the number of your disk] list partition select partition [the number of your windows partition] active (if this doesn't work, try 'set active' without quotes) 10. Reboot into Windows Vista. 11. Copy chain0 to the root of the Vista partition (mostly C:/) 12. Press WIN+R and type cmd. And type: bcdedit /copy {current} /d “Mac OS X” (just leave the {current} there and don't change it) bcdedit /enum active bcdedit /set [iD] PATH \chain0 (replace [iD] with your identifier): 13. Now you can reboot your computer and you’ll see a nice dual boot menu! 14. You now have a fully working OSX 10.5 system.

~pcwiz Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 That guide IS FOR NATIVE INSTALLS ONLY. Like I said, 10.5 will not work with VMware. You have to get an earlier version like 10.4.8.

norcimo Posted November 19, 2007 Author Share Posted November 19, 2007 Yes I know about the native install. Thank you It seems thats the only way I could do it with 10.5. Can you help out with dmg file? how to I get it to ISO and boot, cause it seems it only converts to ISO and don;t boot.

~pcwiz Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Are you trying to run this natively or on VMware? To convert the DMG to ISO, download MagicISO for Windows and then open th DMG using it. Then Export the file as an ISO image.

norcimo Posted November 19, 2007 Author Share Posted November 19, 2007 Yes, After you mentioned that it wont work on VM ware.. i decided to make it native install. the question posted before is that I have a problem after I convert the DMG image to ISO. I use MAgic ISO and also alcohol 120. They both read the DMg and burn ISO file to DVD. The issue is that the DVD wont boot. I reset the computer, I told the bios to boot of the CD rOM unit, but I cant find "the boot sector" on the dvd/ this is a guess..., cause If I insert my VISTA DVD, it boots fine.

~pcwiz Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Try getting a premade ISO file like the ToH DVD and burn it. That osx10.5 DMG doesn't sound authentic. If the ToH DVD doesn't work, try using the Leopard flat image.

macgirl Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 How about PearPC ? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/71988-i-would-pay-osx10_5dmg-and-vmware-setup/#findComment-512080 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lostgame Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Does PearPC even support Tiger? It would be excruciating... Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/71988-i-would-pay-osx10_5dmg-and-vmware-setup/#findComment-512135 Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgirl Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Sure it supports Tiger, that's how the whole thing begin, Deadmoo follow my method to get Tiger installed in a HD image transported to VMware and then to native. If you want to dig the very old messages it's all there. Unfornately not all versions of Tiger work like 10.4.1 aka Developers kit (first with universal binaries), so when you made an installation with the firsts DVDs it took a lot of hours to finish. "excruciating", not really. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/71988-i-would-pay-osx10_5dmg-and-vmware-setup/#findComment-512744 Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 PearPC can run any PowerPC OS including Tiger and Leopard Although it is SOOOOO slow Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/71988-i-would-pay-osx10_5dmg-and-vmware-setup/#findComment-513173 Share on other sites More sharing options...
