No Mac OS option in drop down list

Post by rashmi »

Can anyone please tell me why is there no MAC OS option in drop down list when I try to create a new virtual machine. It just shows Microsoft Windows, LINUX, Solaris, BSD, IBM OS/2, other :( :( I need to install MAC OS. My laptop has RAM - 8 GB, Intel i5 , windows 8, OS 64 bit. I have virtual box 4.3.6.

OSX installs are only supported on Apple hardware. Are you on Apple hardware? See: Important notice regarding Mac OS X as Guest.
