 How to install MacOS - the correct way
Hey there,
Does anyone run MacOS around here. I have never used it and now trying to install in on an Intel box in a vmware environment. I got as far as where it needs to partition, fdisk and format the virtuak disk but each time it spits out an "Error: nknown filesystem, aborting installation, press a key to restart"
Why the heck is this happening? I tried the manual partition thing but the error is the same. I select manual partition, select the drive, tell it to auto and then it bombs with same freakin error above.
Yes I know, if you want to use MacOS ...get yourself a Mac but I cant afford it and some clients are starting to use Mac and want me to support.
Advice,help, comments...SOS .......anything....
Thanks. appreciate it.
.....I rather not say....

Have you tried a manual format?
What file system are you trying to install it onto?

Have you tried following these: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/in.../Vmware_how_to ?
I haven't heard of MacOS success but have heard of Darwin being installed ok (with some struggle).

Brad,
Was your copy of the OS designed for use with Intel processor hardware?
I saw your replies, so it isn't the format that is the issue.

Funny. This the same cat that told me to take my meds when I posted a working OSX emulation. Even C/net.com teaches you how to install the thing and that site is geared for n00bies. In 2 hrs, I will have a legal copy of Solaris to play with

you will need vmware to run a special .iso to convert the filesystem on the OSX cd in order for it to read natively. Make sure you have your cdrom boot first before the HDD.
