If you don’t have one, you can buy one from the online (or brick-and-mortar) Apple Store, from Amazon, or you can find one at your local Apple reseller.
Obviously the Snow Leopard retail DVD is a must (an ISO should work, too, but I used the retail DVD). You’re going to need a couple of things first. I will be using the latest version of VirtualBox (3.2.10).
#WHAT VERSION MAC OSX FOR RUNNING VIRTUAL MACHINE WINDOWS HOW TO#
Installing VirtualBox and configuring your computer to run it is beyond the scope of this tutorial I am going to assume you already have a basic understanding of how to create a VirtualBox VM. I have also purchased a retail OSX Snow Leopard DVD, so whatever Apple’s lawyers might say, this a legal install. Part two will go up Friday.īefore I begin, I should point out that running Mac OSX on non-Apple-branded hardware (including as a VirtualBox guest) is a violation of the OSX End User License Agreement. Personally I don’t really care what EULAs say, as I don’t consider them legally binding, however I do have a broken Mac in the corner of my office that I don’t want to pay to repair. Since it’s kind of long, I’ll split it into two parts. I’ve already done this once tonight (well, when this post is published it will be last night), so I know it works I’m just going to do exactly what I did three hours ago, taking screenshots along the way.
I just got around to re-creating the VM, and since I’ve been having to piece this together from half a dozen sources, I thought I’d write my own tutorial. A few weeks later, after a VirtualBox update, the VM stopped working for some reason. A couple of months ago, I got Mac OSX working as a Virtual Machine running under VirtualBox on my Windows 7 host.
