first of all not all versions of OSX will install on all Mac hardware. and when you do get it to install, many things do not work. if it was "easy", they would work. I would say it's impossible to install OSX correctly in VB.OSX, Linux and Windows Hosts & Guests

This was precisely what I was getting at. Seems like I've spent half my life building XP boxesscottgus1 wrote:I have only ever gotten the dark-blue DOS screen like FrodoHobbits posted, on a install-from-cd onto a hard disk with no OS on it already (I have installed XP dozens of times). I have never gotten F-zero_Sam's screen installing XP on a fresh, no-OS disk.
and never once have I seen the other menu on a fresh install.-
