I have completed all the steps successfully. When I boot from the external HD, the Darwin prompt comes up. I have tried all options(-x, -s, -F, -v), but it just shows me the darwin loading prompt and it then comes back to the boot prompt. Please tell me how to overcome this problem!

What advantages and differences there are between installing OSX on a partition from the main drive to install it to a external HD?

But why, when you could just buy a used MacMini + Keyboard/Mouse/Display switch, place it on top of your PC case, connect the machines by Ethernet and set up respective shares?!?

So, it costs a couple of hundred euros more, but not only will it be a faster and more stable solution, you save yourself hours of frustration and can utilise the time to find a girlfriend!!!

Hi,

we are considering to buy a VMware Virtual Center.
We have two servers running VMware Standard edition.
Do you believe it will be worth it? Or do we have to
upgrade our VMware licenses to Enterprise before upgrading
virtual center to make it worth it. I had just read the
following article
VMware virtual center real value

Does it really worth it that much to purchase Virtual Center? Would it be worth it to purchase Virtual center
If I don't upgrade my VI3 from standard to Enterprise. The post above cheered me up a lot into buying it, but it did not
mention what it will give & not give in standard edition.

I get the same thing. I tried option -v, -x, -x -v, but safe mode does the same thing and verbosa mode gets stuck and keep saying "Still waiting for root device." I left my PC on for few hours but it never past there.
Did anyone figure out how to solve this?

It looks like it is compatible with Intel processor only when using VMWare 5. I've installed and running fine on a P4 2.8GB/1GB memory PC. It's rather slow though. Is there a way to speed it up? I can't get it to work with network. So, for now, it's just something pretty to look at.

Thanks for all the info found there.

I'm trying to use it with VMWare 5.5. It's stuck at a black screen with

localhost:/ root#
Can't type or do antyhing. The CD icon keep blinking while HD icon unchanged. I can see my HD icon is blinking. It's been like this for 20 minutes now. Is it working or it's configuring something. My CPU is AMD 64. Maybe it is not compatible with AMD!?

I will report back the result. If you know something right off hand, please let me know.

Thanks,

I get the same thing the (/) sign, but i Rebooted and typed -v to watch it boot, and its saying "still waiting on root device" and I tried several methods to make it see my SATA drives, but no go. I have a AMD 4800+ X2 2 gigs of ram, and 2 SATA hard drives, and a BFG7900GT. I have sse3 so it should work, but I was hoping someone knew how to make it use sata drives, without me having to go out and buy a PATA drive. Also , my bios doesnt allow me to set the hard drive as "legacy" or whatever, there are two options, and only two options "Auto" and "Large" and I tried both to no avail.
Thanks in advance

The darwin screen comes up no problem, but when the grey screen with the white apple comes up and the little circle indicate that it's loading comes up its just keeps on loading for what seems like forever and about 1 or 2 minutes into it a white rectangle with a grey (/) sign comes up (like a no smoking sign, except without the cigarette lol)

Hello,

How does one obtain the OS X files from Apple?
Do you mean that one should buy the Mac OS X installation DVD? (will that be in .rar format?!?)
I don't understand which files you're refering to in point 1!

Also, will this guide work for any version of Mac OS X (e.g. 10.4.8) or just the Tiger version?

Last but not least, someone on this forum has reported having a BIG problem using this guide on a DELL Dimension 8400. Do you advise not to use this guide for that computer? I checked the processor and it has both SSE2 and SSE3. The graphics card on my Dimension 8400 is a ATI Radeon X300. Will that be a problem for graphics?

The link for Forensic Acquisition Utilities is dead! I'm assuming I can use dd v0.3 from http://www.chrysocome.net/dd instead. Correct?

Thanks for your help.
Cheers,
Olivier.

Well, I don't think so because when I unplug the xp drive and boot on the osx drive, it shows the Apple logo and the blinking cursor... What did I do wrong ?

You likely made a mistake and installed the mac system on top of your xp system instead of your spare drive.

There is likely no way to recover.

how come when ever i try to open the dd.exe from the root of my hard drive it flashes and closes up.
instead i tryed goting to start>run>command and typed in "h:dd.exe" then it came up wth some text about the creator of the app.
then i type in the folowing"if=h:tiger-x86-flat.img of=\.PhysicalDrive0"
and it responds with this "\.PhysicalDrive0 was Unexpected at this time" what does this mean.
P.S. i also intentionally didnt put dd before the if=h:tiger-x86-flat.img of=\.PhysicalDrive0 like the guide asked cause when i did it would give me this error," DDis not recognized as a internal or extrernal command, operable programm or batch file.
I also tried this"h:dd.exe if=h:tiger-x86-flat.img of=\.PhysicalDrive0"
the error message was that it could not find the file, could it be becuase flat.img is inside the tiger-x86 folder?

All links to the download the Forensic Aquisition Utility are null and void - would someone happen to have another link or better yet could you zip and email? I would be most appreciative.
