Learn the procedure of downloading Download Mac OS X Mountain Lion 10.8 ISO and DMG Image. Download and install the freshest version of VirtualBox for your OS. Launch VirtualBox and choose 'New'. A special wizard will be started to help you to set up everything proplerly. Name your vertical machine as 'OSX' and choose 'Mac OS X' from OS menu, and 'Mac OS X Server' from Version menu. Choose some RAM for your VM.
- First thing you need to do is setup your Windows machine to host Macintosh OS. So, install VirtualBox on it. And you need, install its Extension Pack also
- Now launch VirtualBox program, and click on New button on the upper left corner to create a virtual machine on your Windows machine and give it a name
- Choose the type as Mac OS X Server (64-bit). Do not even dare to choose the 32 bit option as it would not let you install Mac on Windows
- While assigning RAM to it, remember a simple logic that what ever number you choose, that much of RAM will be allocated to the VirtualBox everytime to run it. So let it be 2GB which is a safe option. If you have bigger RAM sitting on your Machine (8GB or more), you can go with a value bigger than 2GB
- When it asks you to create a new hard disk to it, go with the VDI option which is meant for VirtualBox. And if you have any plans to switch to VMWare in the future, go with the VMDK option. And it is recommended to go with dynamically expanding disk which would surely save some of your hard disk space
- Once it is created, we would have to do some tweaking. Once you launch VirtualBox, you will see your Mac machine on the left panel, just click on it once
- Once the Settings window is infront of you, click on System and uncheck the Enable EFI option. It stands for Extended Firmware Interface which actually helps the OS while bootup
- Now click on the Storage button on the left panel. There you will see a CD icon labelled as Empty. You can to configure it a bit. Select that item and click on Choose a virtual CD/DVD disk file. Navigate to the location where you have downloaded the .iso or .dmg of iAtkos
- Startup your virtual machine now and you will see a black and white screen with a Lion image on it. Hit ENTER, choose the language and proceed
- It would now prompt you to choose the location where you want to install Lion. If you do not find any options, do not panic as this is how it is supposed to be.
- Click on Utilities from the Main Menu and click on Disk Utility. Now click on the virtual hard disk, click on Erase tab and then on Erase button
- Now you will find the hard disk on Installation page. Select it and proceed
- It will now take some time and once the installation is complete, Mac will crash. Do not worry. Its all planned
- Restart your Virtual Machine, and eject you iAtkos disc from its virtual drive. You can do it by right clicking on its icon from the task bar and uncheck the .iso and .dmg file
- Restart your Virtual Box again. This time it would display a hard disk on which Lion has been installed. Just select it so that the Virtual Machine uses it to boot and that is it!!!!!!
- One last touch to make it better. There is no official way to increase the screen size. So open the Extras folder from the main hard drive, locate the file org.Chameleon.boot.plist and insert the below lines anywhere between and in that file
Graphics Mode
1280x1024x32
