Try to install Mac OS X on Windows 7

Post by monsieurlibouban »

Hi everybody !

This is not my first time using VirtualBox. I already successfully installed Windows XP on Vista based, Seven on Vista based. And without any problems at all ! So, here I am with my new Mac OS distribution for X86/Intel based system. But after a beautiful Silver Apple picture (http://forma-tic.idoo.com/) , nothing! I kept waiting for a while (10, 15, 30 minutes...) but I still am frustrated...

Is there any configuration-type I do not know with VirtualBox for Mac Os ?
Or is it not possible to install Mac Os with VirtualBox ?

Anyway, thanks for your lights.


Regards
Tristan.

Sorry. MacOS can only be installed on computers made by Apple. MacOS cannot be installed on non-Apple hardware citing licensing issues on top of legal and economic issues. MacOS cannot also be installed on *any* emulator as well.

As for help regarding running MacOS as guest, you cannot get help anywhere on the internet either.

If you would have bothered to read the first pages of the forums or searched you would have found the one thread we have about this, any others will be locked.
