dennisgodderie Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Well, where should I start... First of all, I used the search option first to gather more information around my problem, but didn't found what I'm looking for. I have a notebook (Sony Vaio FS-315M) running on Windows XP Professional. Now I got MacOs Panter 10.4 DVD and I want to install it through a virtual machine (vmware). What I've done already: - Installed VMWare player 1.0.1-19317 - Created a vmx file - Insert DVD of MacOs Panter 10.4 - VMWare player opened, trying to boot... Operating System not found Is there any way you can download a sort of virtual macos install dvd? Or something like that? It could be the the DVD isn't bootable, but I doubt that. It's from my school, who uses the same dvd (a copy of it) to install macos on the ibooks the students use.

DrJägermeister Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 I don't know where to post it? Installation? BTW, what your are trying will not work with VMware it is not a PPC emulator. Use PearPC to install your DVD. If you want to use VMware you need the x86 version of tiger. Take a look to the wiki and the forum for more infos.

dennisgodderie Posted February 13, 2006 Author Share Posted February 13, 2006 I've also tried to install it with PearPc, didn't worked either. But I think it's the dvd... Is there any possible image that I can download to try if it's the dvd?

dennisgodderie Posted February 13, 2006 Author Share Posted February 13, 2006 I've tried again with pearpc and it seems to work, but the install crashes after 15 seconds. I'm still trying to solve that. But what is OSX86 exactly? Is it a program that allow you to run macOs on your windows os? or ... ?

For OSX (PPC) as VM you need PearPC, for OSX86 (x86) as VM you need VMware. Your CPU has SSE2, so OSX86 should work in VMware or natively.

dennisgodderie Posted February 14, 2006 Author Share Posted February 14, 2006 Oh I get it now. I just managed to get MacOs Tiger 10.4 running on PearPc, but it's a bit slow. I'm willing to try to run OSX86 through VMWare. Could you point me to the guide for the installation? I don't find it on this forum. Soon I'll be one of you...

I hope For a first and quick OSX86 test with VMware, you can use the already made deadmoo image tiger-x86-flat. After that, try a 10.4.3 installation in VMware (you need to patch this DVD, take a look at the Maxxuss site). If everything was successfully try a real installation (with the patched 10.4.3 DVD). Take a look at the install guides here for nativ installations: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...allation_Guides It seems that 10.4.4 is also cracked but at this time not for SSE2 only CPU's (Centrino, PentiumM). But it seems that Maxxuss is working on it, so we just have to wait a little bit.
