Last day I planted to setup the Mac 10.52 on the VMworkstation6,it is so easy to get in the aurora interface,but after a long time,the interface still empty......the virtual harddisk is the second hardisk of the
physical machines,and the Workstation use its first partition to be the system disk.......I worry it still stay in aurora interface,and seem's that it do nothing after.

I'm not sure what you mean, If you downloaded the mac 10.5.2. You should consider using different kernels. After you've used about 4-5 of them and it still won't work, GIVE UP. I tired to put mac 10.5.2 on my PC it did it fine. Though my ethernet didn't work. If this wasn't what you were talking about please give me some more details. Maybe even a picture to.

Im not exactly sure what you mean as you are talking about Aurora which is to do with Vista then about OSX, I presume you mean you have configured a VMWare virtual machine on Vista which you wish to install OSX on.

You might have more luck using this pre created image. This worked perfectly on my Intel Core2Duo however from looking at that website you will need to patch it to work with an AMD processor.

Patching for AMD SSE3:
• You only need to do this if you have an AMD SSE3 processor (Intel works out of the box)
• Firstly, you need to have a working Tiger VM (instructions here)
• Mount the leopard.vmdk file from this package as a virtual disk in the Tiger VM
• Boot the Tiger VM and you should have access to the Leopard drive
• Download Marvin's AMD Utility here
• Run it from the Tiger VM, for the "Volume/Directory to patch" choose your Leopard volume
• Choose the "Patch all binaries" radio button and Patch
• It will take a long time, but eventually it will be done
• You should now be able to boot the Leopard VM properly
• If it doesn't work, tap F8 while the Leopard VM is booting to get to the boot: prompt and type in -v and hit Enter

I found the way to setup it easy......but it need a program which is work in the dos,so many people call it "dd",it can write the ISO files to hardisk,and than we can use the hardisk to setup the Mac,but I can't fine the "dd"~~~~~
look,this is the interface when it seem stop work.

No idea about this program called “DD” you can try having a look at the OSX X86 wiki this contains a lot of information about installing OSX on none Apple hardware or in a Virtual Machine.

~~~Now I get a Harddisk setup file,and successfuly get into the setup interface,but when it is setuping,it show that the setup is faile~for some files could not be copy to the computer~~~......so close to the success~~~but I don't want to give up~so,what should I do next?? The setup file is EFI-edition,just for AMD user~

 

[InsaneNutter]

If its failing to copy files could it be a corrupt download? That’s the first thing that comes to mind.

~~~~Oh,well......Maybe I am wrong~~~because I select twice choose about set the system run under the AMD cpus~~~And now I had successfuly setup the Mac,but when I start the Mac at first time,it just show some thing~~so fast,and then restart~~try again,as last time~~~so unlucky~so what's that happen?
