Please note this is just for testing and learning purpose only. This method is not recommended for production or long term use, also not all applications will be working on Mac Lion virtual machine as its not recommended by Apple company. Highly advisable to go with original Apple hardware and Mac OS to get the all features and power of Mac.

Here is the step by step guide to install Mac OS X 10.7 Lion on VirtualBox with normal Intel Windows 7 PC. This working guide is really useful for testing and learning purpose with Lion on desktop virtualization software. After download the iATKOS L2 distro and if your on Windows PC convert this from.dmg to.iso and burn on a 4.7GB DVD at low-speed Information. Download iATKOS L2 torrent from software category on Isohunt. Torrent hash: 4AEC9EA3CDDF4EFFA5FA5DFA1668E4.

OK, I demonstrate these steps in my Windows 7 32 Bit computer with Oracle VirtualBox 4.1.2. My PC Configurations. Intel Core2Duo 2.66GHz, 3GB RAM on Host and Windows 7 32 Bit Operating System.

Hardware Virtualization Technology (VT) is enabled in the host processor and processor is 64 bit ready. What You Need? Gigaware 4 Port Usb Hub Driver. 1) Oracle VirtualBox 4.1 or later. () 2) The pre created Lion OS X installation disk. This is the very important part in this installation. The ordinary installation DMG file you download from Apple or any torrent sites will not work here.

We need to modify some packages and create a new disk which can be booted in VirtualBox or VMware. For this process, you must have a working Snow Leopard on physical or virtual machine. The procedure is already covered in Sysprobs clearly, please check. I have used this pre created disk to boot and install.

The bootable Lion OS X disk can be created by two methods, a) Create as a VMDK or VDI file. So this file can be attached to the virtual machine as the first disk to boot the Lion OS. This file can be used in VMware and VirtualBox whenever needed.

Follow the steps. B) Create an ISO file. This is also ideal method to use with all virtualization software and physical computer also. One of my reader created a nice video on. 3) Minimum 1GB memory to Virtual machine. 4) VT and 64bit supported processor..

5) which can boot the Lion OS in VirtualBox (HackBoot.iso which is uploaded by me, no virus.) How to Install Lion OS X on VirtualBox 1) Double check the VT support and 64Bit in BIOS. If its not enabled, then enable it in BIOS and make sure the host Operating System is detecting it. 2) Create a new virtual machine. OS is Mac OS X, the version should be “64bit”. Do not ask me why, because normal 32bit version did not work on my computer. 3) Set the memory size to 1GB or more than that, 2GB is recommended. 4) Create a virtual hard disk, minimum is 20GB.

5) Here is System settings. You can deselect the floppy drive. Make sure ‘Enable IO APIC” and others are selected as shown below.

Remove the Enable EFI option. Leave the ICH9 chipset as default. Under Acceleration, “Enable VT-x/AMD-V” and “Enable Nested Paging” should be enabled. If Acceleration tab is missing in your VirtualBox settings, it means VT is not enabled in host computer BIOS. Processor Settings. This is slightly tricky.

My processor is Core2Duo, so I could select 2 processors. Unfortunately during the installation the virtual machine crashed. I had to put it back to 1 processor (core). If you are using Intel i-series processor you can increase the number up to 4. Increase to maximum and try, if it doesn’t work then try with single core (1 processor). 6) Attach the bootable ISO or VMDK file to virtual machine.

In all cases we have to set Hackboot.iso in CD drive and boot with it. If you are trying to install with bootable VMDK file (which I did), here is the setup. If you are going to try with ISO file, then you do not need to add the ‘bootabelhdd.vmdk’ file. 7) Start the Lion OS X virtual machine now in VirtualBox. It will boot with HackBoot.iso file. If it’s from VMDK file, select the disk by pressing right arrow key in keyboard and press ENTER.
