R. Bear Helms Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Well it's like asking to get water out of a hose without connecting it to a faucet. If you can mount a DVD image (using Daemon tools or whatever), then the VMware installation method should work. VMware can mount various disk images itself and present them as most any drive you want to the virtual machine. So, without VMware, and without a win32 application, I see no way a system incapable of DVD access can read DVD images. FAT32 (DOS) applications cannot access files the size of a OS X install DVD. You must have NTFS and Windows 2000/XP. And from there you go use VMware to install the DVD image. The Wiki has links to installing using VMware, so it'll just give me bloody fingers to type that all back in here Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/8994-install-from-shared-dvdrom/#findComment-55919 Share on other sites More sharing options...
