Computer specs: Original OS: Windows Vista Home Premium (X86) Current OS: Windows 7 Ultimate (X64) Acer ASPIRE 5517 AMD Athlon 64 TF-20 1.6 GHz 3.00 GB RAM (2.75 Useable) 160 GB SATA HDD ATI Radeon HD 3200 GraphicsWhich MAC images? How do you load them? Did they used to work on Vista?just as the VM is starting, press F8. It should give you a boot: prompt. type "-v " here (without the quotes) should put the boot process into verbose mode, so you can get a bit more info on what goes wrong when it starts.here is a screen shot of where it freezes in verbose, in reg boot it just shows the apple logo and the spinning pinwheel this is the image i used Snow_Leopard_10.6.1-10.6.2_SSE2_SSE3_Intel_AMD_by_Hazard.ISO
[RECOVERING disk space - old attachment deleted by admin]Torrents... (whole different story; slippery ground) I used a similar OS X 10.6.4 image a while ago, but it only worked in VMWare Workstation 7.1.4. I SEE you are trying to boot with VIRTUALBOX in "Mac OS X SERVER mode." trying to boot snow leopard fails because of the kernel drivers that are required. You may have read about kexts, which are similar to "Drivers" in windows. Hint: Mac OS X 10.6.8 now works in VMWare. I can't provide you with any further information, though, due to forum rules.Well could you email me the information? because my license an VMWare ran out email at [email protected]mail.com
