Virtual Hine Snow Leopard On Other Update This Article

I will update this article as necessary to address a working installation of Lion as it progresses.

Although, I will leave the information for the Prasys Empire EFI CDs available should the Nawcom CD not work for you.

Alternatively, you can try the tonymacx86.com iBoot or iBoot Legacy CDs if all else fails.

Even using the Nawcom ModCD, you will still need to follow the instructions on changing the resolution of the screen as documented below as this CD doesnt change that part of the installation process.

Virtual Hine Snow Leopard On Other Mac OS X Install

A Mac OS X Install Disk that comes bundled with any Mac system will only install on the hardware with which it came bundled.

For example, if you try to install from a bundled DVD media that was shipped along with a MacBook Pro, it will not install on Virtualbox and you will see the error Mac OS X cannot be installed on this computer.

Save yourself the headache and get a retail disk from the Apple store.

While I think thats a grand notion to sell the hardware, the hardware will sell regardless of the operating system.

Further, if you are a hardware company, why sell the operating system separately anyway I mean, if its the hardware that matters, how is it that you can buy Mac OS X separately both desktop and server editions.

I digress.

I personally think, however, that this idea is both socially and ecologically irresponsible.

For a company that tries to tout itself as Green and Earth-Friendly, by not allowing virtualization of Mac OS X (any desktop version), this prevents people from using the hardware they already have and instead forces us to buy new hardware that will eventually fill landfills.

Using existing hardware that may work just fine, although not made by Apple, at least keeps the hardware out of the land fill and they are still making money off selling the operating system.

Virtual Hine Snow Leopard On Other Download And Use

If your CPU is not listed (i.e., Atom processor), you will need to download and use the CDs labeled with the word Legacy.

These CDs may or may not work for your CPU, but these are the only CDs that have a chance of working on non-supported CPU types.

Without this hardware configuration, you will not be able to install Mac OS X.

Most recent dual and quad core processors support this technology.

So, check your BIOS for Virtualization settings and enable it.

You can run Windows 7, Vista, XP, Linux (Ubuntu, Redhat, etc) or Solaris.

Whichever operating system you choose for the host, make sure its a 64 bit edition.

I recommend Windows 7 64 bit edition as XP 64 bit edition can be somewhat of a bear to work with and Vista isnt readily available at this point.

If youre looking for the least expensive solution, then I would choose Linux.
