Hi,

Im running VirtualBox 4.2.6 on Max OSX 10.8.2 on a MBP.
i have 2 guest machine (xp and win7) that work fine.

i writing an app on this OSX and it works great.
how ever i need to test it on 10.7.5 (an older version then what i currently have)
can i install osx 10.7.5 on the virtual machine? i have the retail 10.7 disk, if so, how?
can i down load a Image file with this version ?

Thanks,
Nadav.

To save you from being banned just because of poor use of jargon: I assume your reference to downloading an OS X image is actually talking about creating a VM from a setup CD, and you are not actually downloading anything?

sorry for the bad jargon.

yes, i use my own Retail cd of 10.7, that i have from an old MBP !!!
what i mean when i say download is the following: in the past i used VMWare, and they supplied (i dont know if they still do) legit VM images of various OS's, for testing purposes, i dont know if VirtualBox have the same.

i hope that clears my intentions..

There are pre-built VirtualBox VM downloads available, but not from this site, and never of Windows or OS X, neither of which are free.

Ok, so ill install from my own dvd.
but can it be done? can i install my 10.7 on a VirtualBox that is installed on my new 10.8.2 Mac book pro?

Sorry, I'm not a Mac expert, I can't tell you what will and won't work. You should however read Important notice regarding Mac OS X as Guest.

I'm curious as to where you got this retail 10.7.5 DVD (CD would be much too small to hold the OS installer which weighs in at a little over 4GB) when Lion has only ever been available as a download (or on a USB thumb drive) from Apple.

Im pretty sure u i got a bundle of disks with my mbp i got 3 years ago

Then none of those disks would have Lion on them since it was released a year and a half ago.

Then the previous realese, it doesnt really matter, need a testing machine which an older version than the ML i have.
