Run Mac OS X Snow Leopard On VMware In Windows PC

Posted by Jaxov Team on March 14, 2010

You can easily run Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.2 on VMware Workstation 7 on a Windows PC if you don't have a Mac. I have tested it in Microsoft Windows 7 and Vista. You don't need any drivers as this is a full pre-installed package of Snow Leopard for VMware Workstation. Before you may start you should have an Intel processor which support hardware virtualization. Follow the step by step procedure to run Snow Leopard on Windows using VMware.

Mac OS X Snow Leopard On VMware

    HI,Thanks a lot for your great share.It's working properly and thanks also to share the MAC OSX files.

    Thanks a lot.

  • Hans

    Hi thanks. Works like a charm

  • Josh

    I installed this and it seemed to work fine until I tried to use ichat with my web cam at which point it crashed ichat and locked up my entire pc.

  • Jasmin

    Will this work on VMware Server 2 instead of VMware Workstation 7?

  • Pitrsonek

    Hi can run WMware on Atholn X2 250?
    When i try run WMware i get this error:

    Guest operating system 'darwin10-64' is not supported.
    Please select a guest operating system from the General page on the Options tab of Virtual Machine Settings.

    Please help me!
    THX

    Hey, did you know that you don't need music for all videos?

  • Nick

    Thanks very much!!!
    Working great on Vista/Intel i7

    Note: The instructions here are not correct, though.
    The correct instructions are shown only in the Youtube video.
    Watch it and you will be ready in a snap...

  • Luc

    Hi, i've just setup it up as Jacobs sayed and it's working fine. Thanks !!

    Now i want to install SDK on it and Max OS ask for a password for this user "Mahmood1" ... any idea ?

    Luc

    • Jorge

      Leave it blank I saw his video and he said to just leave the password are in blank.

  • Zoki

    Look guys, I did it like he said and you said, can you just tell me which files I have to turned into and ISO. I download all parts and I get vmware machine, so can you help me with this?!

  • Dave

    I have the above working perfectly and it is great.

    Only problem is that if I wonder away from my laptop whilst OS X 10.6.2 is running under VMWARE, invariably when I return, say 20 minutes later the OS X has hung. If I stay in front of the machine using OS X everything is fine. Can this be related to any power saving features of my laptop.

    Anyone know what causes this hang?

  • Jacob

    The instructions are not confusing. I have got it working.

    The many MacOSX Snow Leopard 10.6.2. rar files downloaded from rapidshare create a directory of
    Mac OS X Server 10.6.2.vmx
    Mac OS X Server 10.6.2.vmxf
    Mac OS X Server 10.6.vmsd
    Mac OS X Server 10.6.vmxf

    and
    Mac OS X Server 10.6 (experimental).nvram
    Mac OS X Server 10.6 (experimental).vmdk
    Mac OS X Server 10.6 (experimental).vmsd
    Mac OS X Server 10.6 (experimental).vmxf
    Mac OS X Server 10.6 (experimental)-s001.vmdk
    Mac OS X Server 10.6 (experimental)-s002.vmdk
    .. etc

    This is simply a package with a pre-installed OS in a vmware image.
    The Mac OS X Server 10.6.x files are the virtual machine.
    The Mac OS X Server 10.6 (experimental)-s001.x are the virtual hard drive.
    They should not be turned into an ISO!

    How to get this baby up and running..

    Put darwin_snow.iso (only 11meg boot cd-image) in the same directory as the virtual machine.
    Open Mac OS X Server 10.6.2.vmx in VMware
    Select darwin_snow.iso as the boot cdrom path in VM, Settings, CD/DVD (IDE), Use ISO Image.

    Boot it up!

  • bacalhau

    hi. i've downloaded the full version and extracted everything.
    i ended up with a bunch o vmdk files:
    Mac OS X Server 10.6 (experimental)-s001.vmdk
    Mac OS X Server 10.6 (experimental)-s002.vmdk
    .......
    ....untill
    Mac OS X Server 10.6 (experimental)-s021.vmdk

    i also have:
    Mac OS X Server 10.6 (experimental).nvram
    Mac OS X Server 10.6 (experimental).vmdk
    Mac OS X Server 10.6 (experimental).vmsd
    Mac OS X Server 10.6 (experimental).vmxf

    Mac OS X Server 10.6.2.vmsd
    Mac OS X Server 10.6.2.vmx
    Mac OS X Server 10.6.2.vmxf
    Mac OS X Server 10.6.vmsd
    Mac OS X Server 10.6.vmxf

    now i'm stuck here: " burn it to a DVD using any software which creates and mount virtual CD/DVD ROMs"
    what am i supposed to burn on a DVD??

    thx in advance

    • http://jaxov.com Wolverine

      Use MagicISO to create a DVD-ISO image of the file you got after joining all the RAR files.

      • bacalhau

        the question is: i don't have one file... i have all those i mentioned before.
        it was 47 win-rar parts. i selected them all, right-clicked and chose "extract here" after that i had all the files mentioned. =/

        was the idea merging all 47 parts into one single file, before extracting??

        i had already tried making an ISO with all the files mentioned in the previous post. when i mounted the iso o virtual drive F and tried to boot from DVD it didn't recognized it.

        • http://jaxov.com Wolverine

          Look! When you will extract the first file, you will be asked to select the 2nd rar file and so on! In the end you will be getting the extracted files. You will have to burn them on a virtual DVD disk!

      • Alex

        Hi, I think I am having a similar problem like bacalhau. Once I click extract on the 1st rar file, it will automatically extract everything into a folder of size 11.4GB. So, am I suppose to have a DVD-ISO of size 11.4GB?

        Thanks in advance.

    • http://technotech.pcriot.com james stuirt

      he means that either burn it to disk using any software such as nero
      or mount it to virtual cd/dvd using magic disc or any other
      hope u understand what i mean

  • Paul

    Can i use. the snow leopard install disk rather than download the "full version of MacOSX Snow Leopard 10.6.2". also can this all be put into a torrent

    • http://jaxov.com Jaxov

      Yes you can use that one too but you have to install it on VMware later! However the above download links provided to you are for pre-installed full version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.2. You don't need to install Mac OS X Snow Leopard if you will download from the above links!
