Installing Mac OS on VirtualBox: detailed instructions

At the moment, two giant corporations compete with each other: Microsoft and Apple, and in various areas, from mobile phones to computers. Talking more about the PC, you can divide the two most common OSes: Windows and OS X. Anyone has encountered Windows anyway, as it is very common and is available on almost every PC, which is not true of OS X, which can work normally Only on computers manufactured by Apple. But there are users who would like to try this OS. How to install Mac OS on VirtualBox? To do this, we will need a program called VirtualBox, which will help install OS X quickly and easily.

Equipment

Installing Mac OS on VirtualBox is a simple matter, but we will need your personal computer to be able to work with such an OS and meet all the minimum requirements.

We need:

• PC with 64-bit Windows to install Mountain Lion, 2 cores in the processor and at least 4 GB of RAM. If you use a 32-bit system, then it's okay, you still have the option to install Mac OS Snow Leo.
• VirtualBox is probably the only program of its kind that can install a high-quality OS, and it's completely free. Do not forget about the fact that if you need USB in OS X, you will need another program - VirtualBox Extension Pack.
• Mountain Lion, and you need the ISO-image. Unfortunately, you will not be able to use the official Mountain Lion installer, because it will not work here, but instead you will need to download the hacked version of OS X, otherwise it's called the distribution kit. You will not have a problem with downloading it, since the well-known hacking team Olarila has already laid out many versions. You can find them not only in the Google search engine, but also with the help of the torrent.
• HackBoot1 and HackBoot2 are special ISO files that will help you in your installation. Hackboot 1 helps you run a program that installs OS X, and Hackboot2 - Mountain Lion.
• MultiBeast4 is a program that configures audio and many other functions. You can download it at Tonymacx86.com, and you will not have to pay anything.

If you have everything you need, installing Mac OS on VirtualBox will go well.

Install Mac Os on VirtualBox

Before installing OS X, you will need to configure VirtualBox so that the hacked version can work without a hitch.

Run the program and click on the "Create" button. Next, specify a name, for example OS X. In the "Type" section, select Mac OS X, and in the version - Mac OS X (64-bit).

Installing and Configuring VirtualBox

Click "Forward". Now in front of you is a very important point that will determine all the subsequent performance of your machine - allocation of RAM. The main factor in choosing is your own RAM, if you have 8 or 16 GB, then 2 will be plenty, but it's better not to be greedy, as this will affect the speed of work, so the best option is 4 or 6 GB.

Go ahead on the proposed path and click on the "Create a new virtual hard disk" section. It is necessary to create a new disk, and in VDI format with dynamic allocation of memory. After all these manipulations, VirtualBox will return you to the main screen.

Now we need to edit it, so we click the right mouse button on the newly created virtual disk and click on the "Configure" section. Go to the "System" section and uncheck "Enable EFI".

Then select the "Media" section. We click on the CD-icon, where it is written "Empty", in the "Information storage" panel. Then click on the CD-icon, but on the right, and click where it says "Select the image of the optical disc." Find the HackBoot1 ISO file that you already have, and click OK.

After all this, your virtual machine is ready for installation. Also make sure that your ISO Mountain Lion is suitable, and go to the next item.

Further - better. You are waiting for the installation of the Mac OS on VirtualBox, already on the virtual system itself. After all your manipulations, go to the installation: run VirtualBox and do all that is written below:

1. Choose your OS X and run it. Next, the boot screen with the HackBoot icon will be displayed.
2. In the bottom corner of the VirtualBox window, click on the CD icon, and then the window appears, in which click "Select the optical disk image". Click on the image that you just downloaded and which is suitable for your manipulations with Mountain Lion.
3. Click on the installer OS X. Then go back to the boot screen HackBoot and press F5. After that, the program should reboot and output to the OS X installation on DVD. Then simply go to the items that will be offered by the system. A little later you will go to a special window to continue installing OS X.
4. Next, you will be asked to choose a language and agree to the terms of use. However, there is a possibility that OS X will not be able to find any hard disk of the required format. Do not worry, this is fixable. Go to the menu and select "Utilities" -> "Disk Utility".
5. The bottom line is that Mac OS X should only be installed on an absolutely clean disk, that is, formatted. Use Disk Utility to make your disk completely clean, the one you created in VirtualBox in order to install Mountain Lion. So, after going into the disk utility, click on your HDD from VirtualBox and format it.
6. After the Disk Utility completes the formatting, the formatted disk should appear to the left. You exit the "Disk Utility" and continue installing OS X.
7. Then just go to the points. All this you will not take much time - 20 minutes. After the installation is completed, you will see a window with white text. Then you just close your car.
