Dannn Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 I am desperate to get this to work, my specs are in my signature. My IDE isn't supported so i ordered an IDE to SATA converter, but i'm too impatient to wait for it. I have an 80gb ipod classic... Is there any way i can install OSX onto that without totally bricking it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BartNijland Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Now idea about the Ipod, but why don't you just try VMWare if your so impatient to wait? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannn Posted January 1, 2008 Author Share Posted January 1, 2008 vmware is incredibly slow... is there any way to speed it up? maybe add more ram to the installation and try increasing its priority... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BartNijland Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Here are some tips to help you speed up Mac OS x86 in VMware: * Store the virtual machine in a hard drive/partition separate from where Windows is installed * Set the guestOS line in the VMX file to guestOS=darwin * Disable all serial, parallel, and floppy controllers in VMware BIOS (part of installation procedure above) * If it exists, delete the AppleTPMACPI.kext file in System/Library/Extensions * Disable Dock Magnification * Try this (apparently it speeds up the system): type in platform=X86PC at boot prompt Just a simple google...

Dannn Posted January 1, 2008 Author Share Posted January 1, 2008 okay i'll try that... but one last question, if i were to install osx on a harddrive (Full SATA drive) from another harddisk with vmware could i boot no issue to that sata drive? i keep getting hfs+ and chain booting errors when ever i try to dual boot.
