In addition to a good computer that uses an Intel processor, you need these following three things to run Mac OS X on Windows.
This guide does not cover AMD processors, as they make Mac OS X more difficult to set up. You also to note remember whether your processor is "Intel" or "AMD". If it doesn't directly tell you how many cores your processor has, look up your processor model on Wikipedia or Google. Right click on "My Computer" on your desktop and click "Properties" to check the stats on your computer. You also need about 10 GB of unused hard drive space. Personally, the computer I was using for this had a 4-core processor and 12 GB RAM, which is way more than enough. You will need at least 4 GB of RAM and a dual-core (two core) processor or better. You need a computer with Windows to run Mac OSX on Windows (of course). This tutorial should only be taken as a proof of concept. You will not be able to enable full graphics support, for instance. Installing OS X with Virtualbox on Windows is more difficult than doing it with VMWare Fusion in OS X, because Windows virtualization programs do not "officially" support Mac OS X. NOTE: The following guide is for installing Mac OS X Snow Leopard only, because it uses the same method that I use for my standard Snow Leopard installation guide.įor this virtual machine, we're going to use Virtualbox, which is a free and open-source virtualization suite. Virtualbox is a virtualization suite that works for Windows- installing Mac OS X on a virtual machine in Windows before doing it on your actual computer is great practice, and it gives you a chance to determine whether you'd actually prefer OS X over Windows.
If you need help deciding whether to make that leap of faith, then you can try installing Mac OS X Snow Leopard on Virtualbox, instead. I let it "verifying" for more than half an hour and nothing happened.We've already covered how to run a Mac OS X virtual machine with VMWare Fusion on your Hackintosh, but that tutorial won't do you much good if you haven't installed Mac OS X on your PC yet. It's the first (i.e., the only) installer that I have problem with.
The steps are: After downloading the dmg images, open/mount it, then double click on the " VirtualBox.pkg", then it starts the Installer with the 'Verifying " VirtualBox.pkg"." dialog and then stops.Īpparently it isn't using too much memory or processor (processor usage less than 5% all time and memory usage way less than the maximum physical memory). With the two installers I had the same problem: I got stook in the "Verifying." dialog. I downloaded these DMG images (from VirtualBox.Org Downloads page) and (from TestBuilds VirtualBox.Org wiki page). I tried to update VirtualBox for Mac OS X to the latest version, but it stops on the screen "Verifying ' VirtualBox.pkg'.".
