Administrators Hervé Posted January 26, 2013 Administrators Share Posted January 26, 2013 Do a search on VMware based installer creation. It's a known troublesome method... Have a look at what various people did to get it going, but clearly, your problem is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D630man Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Cool thanks for your suggestion. At least I now have some sort of idea as to what is going wrong. I'll have a look around and see if I can get something working. If I find a solution I'll let y'all know what I did to get it working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D630man Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Ok got it installing now. What I did was I copied all the install files and stuff locally to the VM as before I was using the shared folders to copy from the VM to my PC. Run Myhack to make the media, then installed extra (the ones advised to used with this guide) then run Myfix, put the USB drive in my D630, booted from it and within about 2 minutes I am booted up to the ML install where I configured my partitions and started installing. About 15 minutes left on the install now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D630man Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I now have a working ML 10.8. the only things that don;t work on it are the wifi and the touch pad. for the moment I am not too worried about them but would be nice to get the wifi working - At the moment I am just glad that I have it working as it's taken me nearly a whole week to get it working so now I am pleased. I want to say thanks to Seb43654. Without his guide then none of this would have been possible for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iHaz Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Hello all, THANK YOU so much Seb worked like a charm right from the first try, after carefully reading the tutorial(s), and it all works now (except for wifi led and all the rest you said, minor things). Here's a screenshoot: http://i.imgur.com/gLjxCaa.png?4 What i had was just the d630 NVD + 1 usb hdd What i did was, i downloaded OSXMLinstall.app, and a vmware image with 10.8.2 from which i created the "usbpen" (a small 8gb partition at the end of the usb hdd). Than i shutdowm vmware, windows and replaced the hdd with the one that was external and ran the installer. When it was ready i installed 10.8.2 combo update, i fixed the permissions again via myhack and that was it. Thank you so much again Seb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darvinko Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 what does edp meen If you click on the tab at the top of the page you will see it stands for Extended Driver Package, a package of kexts designed for a specific model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darvinko Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 D630man, make sure you have a supported WiFi card (Dell 1390). Also Seb has included a package of kexts at the bottom of the initial post in this thread which should help the touch pad issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dargod Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Hello, That may sound really silly but how can I buy ML? I have Windows 8 right now and I would love to install OSX too. Tutorial in this topic looks nice but have no idea how can I get instalation cd/iso image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted January 29, 2013 Administrators Share Posted January 29, 2013 You simply buy it off Apple web site/app store for the astronomical sum of USD $20/EUR 18€! No hesitation to be had... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
