Well one thing I don’t mind doing is admitting when I’ve had a fail. We can learn from a fail and the only time a fail is really a complete waste of time is when you don’t learn anything from it.
This time I learned that if you really want to run OS X on a PC, you need to find out what hardware people have used to do it before. The Sony VAIO laptop I tried it on seemed to have some incomparable hardware. This was just a test run and someone had loaned me the laptop just so I could see if I could do it. I had to give the laptop back before I could really figure out what the problem was.
I wanted to let you know in case you read my previous post and were waiting for a follow up. SO here is the follow up, and since it didn’t work, I’m not going to waste a lot of time for either of us going into everything I tried. Basically, I tried to install several versions in Virtual Machine and when that didn’t work I tried to make a dual boot setup using what amount to boot loaders for OS X and PC’s, and they had the same problems that Virtual Machine had. I did this just to verify that Virtual Machine wasn’t the root of my problems.
This is over for now. Next time I get some new hardware and some more time, I will give it another shot.
