i dont think its that easy lol but i do have VMware and have the mac os X iso but i need other files and stuff

 

[moneymike47]

Heres from an install file:
Installing Snow Leopard in Vmware Workstation 7

Prerequisites...


Patience

VMware Workstation 7
Basic knowledge of OS X and the
terminal
Previous boot-132 experience
Retail Snow Leopard 29.99 DVD
(as an ISO)
A pre-made Snow Leopard VMX (included)
dariwn_snow.iso
(included)
Intel Based Processor


----- Step 1 -----

preparing the image

Open
VMware, load the vmx that came with this pkg

edit the vmware settings to
match your needs

set the darwin_snow.iso as the cdrom media.

save your
settings

----- Step 2 -----

Installing

Start up your OS X VM

once at the
darwin boot prompt eject the darwin_snow.iso and load your Snow Leopard
ISO

Install Snow Leopard as normal


reboot**

**note:
FakeSMC causes
kernel panics on reboot in Snow Leopard for some reason. Just ignore the
Kernel panics.


---- Post Install ----

TAKE A SNAPSHOT before updating or
making any other chages to the VM.

Use Apple Software Update

Reboot

Take a
Snapshot

Install Vmware Tools

Reboot


---- Caveats ----

It seems that for some
reason it takes about 10 reboots before Snow Leopard will boot normally
into the VM. you will get stuck at the apple logo for about 3-4 reboots,
then you will get to the dekstop but only get the beachball of death.
Keep rebooting and eventually you will get to the registration form, once
the registration form loads you will be smooth sailing from now on.

You
will always need to use the darwin_snow.iso to boot your vm but this is a
small price to pay for having Snow Leopard in a vm right?

Did it work when you followed those instructions?

 

[moneymike47]

Let us know if it works! And good luck also!

Thank you! I was extremely close but got an unexpected error and I have to re-do it all over again cause the install was interrupted for no reason, so now I have to sit through painfully long downloads.... Again.

Haven't tried because I've been swamped this semester and with work

Try VirtualBox - it works, trust me

You will need a copy of the Sow Leopard Retail DVD - this can still be bought from Apple for just ?26.

I can't find the original instructions I used, but these look about right.

Beware of system software updates by the way. My VM was running really nicely, then I updated to 10.6.8 - this totally screwed XCode! It was running sooooo slowly, my only option was to create a new VM. But I had created a separate hard disk image for storing my work, so it was not a big deal.

Good luck.
