This post is another part of Mac on Windows series. Here, we will see how to do a fresh Snow Leopard Installation on VMware Player ( Workstation too) under Windows 7. There are several methods posted in Sysprobs to import and run Mac OS X with pre installed VMware image, in case you don’t like to download those torrents but want to install from your original Mac DVD (Get your DVD here) or ISO image, then try this method.
The method mentioned here is already covered in several blogs, but not with the all post installation steps such as working sound, changing display resolution screen size, Shared folders and more. So, I have decided to publish a complete guide with installation method and other post configurations you must do to make use of SL.
These steps applicable for VMware Workstation also.
The bold film is noted for its frank portrayal of sex and explicit language.

The plot thickens with even more bold content and the director hopes to push the envelope with the film into the grey shades that Bollywood rarely explores – the politics of sex. Hate story 2 goes further into the murky world of Mumbai’s dirty politics.
This is completely for learning and experimental purpose with Snow leopard on Intel based PCs. Don’t expect all features in side Mac Virtual machine as running on original apple hardware. Please buy original OS and Apple hardware for long term use and to get all features.

Step One: Launch VMWARE Workstation and load the.vmx that came with the package you downloaded above. Now edit virtual machine settings for advance options.
1) VMware Player or Workstation ( This post goes with VMPlayer)
2) Get Mac OS X Snow Leopard DVD or ISO ( Convert the original DVD to ISO as shown in this post, you may get some reading EBIOS errors if use DVD)
3) Download pre configured Mac VMX files and others.
4) Time to spend with post installation configurations.
I’m using a PC with following configuration.
Intel Core2duo 2.66 GHz, 3GB RAM, Intel P35 chipset, Windows 7 32 Bit OS, Processor and motherboard support Virtualization Technology ( VT) and 64 Bit architecture.
1) Make sure VT is turned on in physical computer motherboard and host OS is detecting it. Read more here.
2) Extract the download Snowy_VM to a place with 15GB free Space. (These files are having pre configured Mac VM configuration, hard disk, boot loader and post installation packages.)
3) Start VMware Player and Click on ‘Open a Virtual Machine’. Browse for following VMX file in extracted location.
4) Virtual machine’s default pre settings are fair enough, but if more resources available on host computer then go to virtual machine settings and change.
I configured,
2 Processor Cores,
2GB Ram
Enabled ‘Accelerate 3D graphics’ (Hope for better performance)
5) Click on CD/DVD option and mount Darwin_snow.iso file as shown below.
6) Start virtual machine and keep Mac SL installation ISO file ready.
7) When following screen appears, load installation ISO file.
To do it, right click on CD icon and select settings. Browse for correct ISO file and make sure to click ‘Connected’ under Device status. Once it’s loaded successfully installation will start after few seconds or by pressing any keyboard keys.
8.) Continue the installation, select disk and customize to remove languages and printer support to save time and space if you want.
9) Oops, did you get following error screen at the end of installation? Don’t worry, I got too.
Go to VM menu and Power off Virtual machine (Don’t restart).
Darwin_snow.iso should be loaded again to CD ROM to boot Mac OS X from installed hard disk. After loading ISO file, power on the SL VM.
10) Again, I stuck here. I waited for few minutes and reset machine several times but nothing brought the proper screen except Apple loading screen. If you are facing similar problem then go to end of this article called ‘ Issues faced and How I Fixed’.
That’s it installation done. Now you have working Snow leopard 10.6 in normal Intel computer with VMware Player.
1) Network and Internet
Worked out of the box in all three Network connection types.
Ahandbook is really a user's guide to operating the equipments. Many products that you buy can be obtained using instruction manuals. These user guides are clearlybuilt to give step-by-step information about how you ought to go ahead in operating certain equipments. Clinical chemistry made easy pdf.
2) VMware Tools and Screen Resolution Size for Snow Leopard on VMplayer.
Mount the Darwin ISO while SL is running and start ‘Install VMware Tools’ package from CD ROM. These tools will install VMware virtual display adapter driver for Mac and Shared folders feature.
You can manually download VGA driver for Mac OS X guest and install as mentioned in earlier post here.
3) USB Support
Swapping USB devices between guest and host worked without any problems.
4) Sound
Sound driver package for Mac guest on VMware located in Snowy_VM folder, called ‘EnsoniqAudioPCI.mpkg.tar.gz’. Copy this file into VM, extract and start the installation (opening .mpkg file) as root.
Restart VM, don’t worry about crashing errors. Try to boot several times. Speaker icon appears on Snow Leopard bar and sound works.
5) VMware Shared Folders in Snow Leopard
After installed VMware tools mentioned in step 1, Shared folders between Host OS and Mac guest will start work. To activate this, go to settings of VM and select options.
By default folder sharing is disabled, select ‘Always enabled’ and press Add button at bottom to point host computer folder or drive. Make it ‘Read only’ if you want more protection from guest OS. Once you applied, shared folder or drive of host computer (any Windows OS) can be accessed in Mac Snow leopard guest through VMware Shared folder shortcut on Desktop.
6) Update to 10.6.4 Snow Leopard
I did this manually, downloaded ‘10.6.4 combo update’ and installed. Update went successfully and restarted VM without any problems.
7) Boot loader to boot from hard disk
Darwin.iso or darin_snow.iso file must be loaded to CD drive every time to boot.
If you face any booting Issues or stuck with loading arrows with Mac Logo for long time then shutdown the Virtual machine and close VMware. Open Mac OS X Server 10.6 (experimental).vmx in notepad, and;
Find out a line smc.present = “TRUE” and change it to smc.present = “FALSE”
Save the file and start VM now.
Still any booting issues?
AMD and Windows 7 64 Bit Host users download darwin_legacy boot loader from here.
Sometimes you have to reset and start Virtual machine more than five times to get normal desktop, so don’t give up.
Feel free to share your success stories and problems here. I will try my best to get a solution for you.
Have fun.
