Many Windows users would also like to try Mac OS X operating system that runs on Apple computers. There are some ways how to do it, but in our opinion, the easiest one is to install OS X in some virtualization software, like VMware Workstation.

By default, VMware Workstation doesn't officially support virtualization of Mac OS X. However, other third party developers created unofficial update that adds Mac OS X profiles to VMware settings, which allows users to install Mac OS X without Chromeleon, or other Apple Mac boot emulators.
How to run Mac OS X in VMware Workstation
We have tried to run last version of Mac OS X (Mountain Lion - build 10.8.) in VMware Workstation.
Other system requirements to run virtualized Mac OS X are:
Intel dual core processor with Intel VT-x hardware virtualization, 2GB RAM, 15GB free HDD space, NVIDIA, or ATI GPU.
I have tried about 7 images of Mac OS X Lion and Mountain Lion on VMWare Workstation 8 and 9, and also tried to change almost all settings, but I cannot run it in any way. It shows grey screen with notice 'VMWARE' and it's all, it seems there is nothing to be run, even it doesn't show the apple logo. Vmware Workstation::OS X 10.8 Image For Vmware:For Watching!Support me:)https. I've managed to install MacOSX 10.7 on VMWare Workstation 9.0.1. I write this totorial to share with you guys 1. Download Mac OS X Lion, extract to get 'Install Mac OS X Lion.dmg' (don't run the installer otherwise it'll delete itself) - WHERE to find this (Just 'Bing it on'/ Google it or find in your favorite warez forums). It patches the Vmware and allows the installation of Mac OS X. 5) In the extracted vmware image, click on the.vmx file and it will load the Mountain Lion VM. Vmware Tools: 1. Edit virtual machine settings, go to ‘Cd/Dvd’ and use ‘VMware Unlocker – Mac OS X GuestVMware 8.x SeriesToolsdarwin.iso’ as.
Step 1 - Download and install VMware Workstation
VMware Workstation is commercial software, but you can try fully functional time limited demo version which is available on the official VMware website. It is recommended to download and install Workstation version 8.
Step 2 - Download Mac OS X installation image
We have tried already prepared Mac OS X Mountain Lion virtual machine created by Soul Dev Team. The archive (OS X Mountain Lion 10.8 Retail VMware Image) contains virtual machine with pre-installed Mac OS X and other utilities to customize VMware Workstation. Download it from Soul Dev Team website and unpack archive to your hard drive.
Step 3 - Customize VMware Workstation
Open the archive and go to the VMware Workstation Unlocker - Windows subfolder.
In our case:

Click the right mouse button on install.cmd script and selectRun as Administrator option. Wait until the patch process is finished.
There is an utility available in the archive called Hardware Virtualization Bypasser that allows users without processor with VT-x virtualization, run Mac OS X in VMware. However we tested it on older Pentium D 945 system without success.
Step 4 - Run the Mac OS X in VMware Workstation
StartVMware Workstation. Click onFile menu > Open... Navigate to the unpacked Mac OS X archive to OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion subfolder and selectOS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.vmx file.

Click on VM menu > Settings... (also can use Alt+D shortcut). Click on Options tab and check the Guest operating system is set to Apple Mac OS X and Version to Mac OS X 10.7. 64-bit.
VMware Workstation General settings for Mac OS X
Click on Hardware tab. Set the memory settings to one half of RAM installed in computer. In Processors settings set the number of processors and cores per processor (mostly one processor and two, four or eight cores). These settings greatly affect the virtual machine performance. Now click on OK button.

Click on Power on this virtual machine option (also Ctrl+B shortcut). After few seconds you will se a warning window.

Step 5 - Install VMware Tools
After you have set up the system, it is time to install VMware Tools, which will improve performance of the system and allow you to set monitor resolution higher than 1024x768.
Click on VM option in upper menu → Settings... → CD/DVD (IDE) option → Use ISO image file option and after that on Browse... button. Navigate to Mac OS X unpacked archive to Tools subfolder and select darwin.iso disk image.

And that's it! Your virtual Apple Mac computer is prepared to use and you can start using and testing all Mac OS X apps.
If your machine is part of the mainstream configuration, you can discard the traditional real native partition installation method, while the use of virtual machine method described in this article, not only greatly reduce the problems encountered difficult, but also in the use of Mac OS X to get the experience is excellent the. (This tutorial configuration needs: support hardware virtualization technology (Virtualization) of the CPU. Current mainstream Intel Core series and AMD Athlon series CPU virtualization technology is supported, the name was Intel VT-x and AMD-V.)

This tutorial method used by the virtual machine, provided that the machine's CPU must support hardware virtualization technology. Readers can be CPU-V or CPU-Z and other tools to test the result. Open CPU hardware virtualization technology can be turned on via the motherboard BIOS settings.
Download and install VMware Workstation VMware can go to the official website or on the ed2k network search download (recommended). Described here no longer compile.
Apple systems on Mac OS X installation disc image, use the dmg format of the original image. I recommend to search for ed2k network download (recommended), the keyword is 'Mac OS X Mountain Lion dmg' or 'Mac OS X Lion dmg'. Described here no longer compile.
Crack VMware Workstation supports Mac OS X
Here we need to use the tool 'Workstation and Fusion Mac OS X Unlocker'
VMware Workstation and complete the installation after the restart, completely unpack Unlocker compressed package to the administrator mode windows/install.cmd.
Unlocker will automatically stop VMware services, backup VMware program files, program files crack VMware, restart the VMware service and a series of operations, and will automatically end the command line window.
After the break VMware has created a virtual machine system selection dialog:
Create Mac OS X, VMware virtual machines
After Unlocker crack, start VMware Workstation normally create a virtual machine, select 'Apple Mac OS X' (depending on the Mac OS installation disk in the system, select the corresponding version of the correct version, here I use a Mac OS X Mountain Lion, version 10.8 64-bit). Creation process has the following non-default configuration:
(1) in the processor options, select 'Number of cores per processor (each processor cores)' for the two, which can induce a VMware virtual machine automatically enables advanced hardware virtualization technology.
(2) after created, first click on the 'Edit virtual machine settings', the hardware's 'Floppy' delete option is enabled in the display 'Accelerate 3D graphics'.
(3) In Virtual machine configuration, in the Advanced Settings, set the priority of the input capture 'high', and check 'Disable memory page trimming.
With a text editor (such as Notepad) to edit the virtual machine files (where the author is E:Program Files(x86)Virtual_MachinesMac OS XMac OS X.vmx), add a line at the end of the file:
This operation is used to disable the VMware virtual machine is placed on your hard disk memory mirroring prevents the virtual machine hard disk read and write operation occurs during the busy horrors.
Start the VMware virtual machine and install Mac OS X
Edit the virtual machine configuration 'CD / DVD' option in the 'Use ISO image file' at the choice of our Mac OS X installation disc image. (Please select the browse file dialog box when the file type, select 'All Files (*. *)', You can see the file name suffix for the dmg image file.) Confirmation is complete, start the VMware virtual machine.
Start the virtual machine, the virtual machine default boot from the CD, the Apple Logo appears after officially came to Mac OS X installation interface.
In the 'Mac OS X Utilities' select 'Disk Utility', select the first hard drive on the left and on the right select 'Erase' (the 'Format' select 'Mac OS X Extended (Journaled)'), Click the 'Erase' button to format the current drive.
After formatting the hard disk partition, back to 'Mac OS X Utilities' and click 'Install Mac OS X', enter the installation process.

Completed in a VMware virtual machine after installing Mac OS X, the first thing of course is to install VMware Tools. VMware Tools includes the VMware virtual machine 'hardware' drive, the virtual machine and the host communication between functional support.
