How To Install Fully Functional Mac OS X Lion Virtual Machine inside Windows 7

[evilsatan]

My Windows install decided to go haywire a couple of days ago so I had to format my SSD. I was dual booting OSX Lion and Windows 7 (this is the cause for my problems as Chameleon was my bootloader) so thought I would give virtualisation a go for ease and fast switching. All has gone well and now I have OSX Lion running as a VM on my system.

I would usually copy/paste the guide on here and provide a source but as it is updated fairly regularly I will just post the external link and use this thread as feedback and support.

Requirements:

• You must have an Intel CPU, if you have an AMD CPU then this will NOT work for you.
• Check make sure your Intel CPU has virtualization technology and is enabled from your BIOS, find out how click here?
• At least 4GB of RAM (less than this will slow your system down very significant margin)
• At least 20 GB of Hard Drive space

Notes:
The unlocker link in the main body is dead but it is still live from the updates at the top (https://hotfile.com/dl/155846951/992...Files.exe.html)
The unlocker may appear to be malicious, it has been fine for me. Chrome reported it as being potentially unsafe (first time I have seen Chrome do that).

Mines updated to 10.7.2, not had time to update to 10.7.3/4 but all seems to be working well. Few problems as the network card is virtual so can't directly connect my network printer but should be able to share it through windows for the VM to access, no audio yet but I will play around to fix that later. Full screen graphics working great.

Have you got a link to the unlocker? Both mirrors aren't working.

The link at the top in the updates section should still be live:

Anyone got the bits and pieces to make one themselves?

I'm trying to create an OSX Lion vm on my ESXi host but each OSX download I've got is either corrupt or getting corrupted when converting from .dmg to .iso.

I got the VMWare image from nzb matrix but it's also on piratebay. If you need any help getting it send me a PM mate I want to try esxi on my NAS and Microserver at ssome point when I have time.

Rather than getting a pre-created image, I was hoping to make my own by getting a proper .dmg then converting to .iso and booting a fresh vm from this.

[evilsatan]

I have a retail dmg somewhere for when I made a hackintosh. That's also available on nzb matrix and probs torrents.

If you can send me the link that would really be appreciated, already wasted 10 dl-dvd's on it so gave up for now.
