![]() The laptop in question is a P4HT 3.4 GHz, 1 GB RAM etc - it's a nice machine, although not really what you might call a normal laptop (7.1 kg weight, 17" screen etc), and the Pentium 4 (desktop, not a mobile version) means it gets very hot very quickly!. Is it possible to run Parallels or anything like that on the newer versions of OSX86 as that would be the only way to get Windows > OSX > Windows - I don't think you'll get a PC emulator working inside PearPC (I've tried Guest PC and MS Virtual PC, and neither worked), although the 68k emulator Basilisk II works so it might be possible. It seems too much of a hassle to update it so I haven't bothered. (And my father uses a real Mac, too.)īy the way: What laptop do you have? And is this your only/primary machine? I might upgrade it to try that although I have two real Macs. I do have a more recent image but my PC (which is collecting dust in the cellar) is too old to run it. You're still running the original 10.4.1 VMware image? That's quite old, indeed. Either Windows -> OS X -> Windows or OS X -> Windows -> another Windows (although that's not as cool). I also tried very hard to get Windows > OS X > Windows inside OS X, but I can't get this to work (10.4.1 in VMware doesn't run any of the recent Universal apps as it's too old, and PearPC can't run Virtual PC etc because emulators rely on low-level parts of the PowerPC CPU that aren't emulated in PearPC). I'd also like to get some old x86_64 versions of (I know of a build 3621 that's 64-bit). All I've ever seen of it is a screenshot of the boot screen that might as well have been faked. If I'd get or find that build somewhere, I'd get crazy. I'm pretty sure it was for the AMD Opteron (x86_64), so it should run on all recent AMD and Intel CPUs. While we're at it, Microsoft once released a 64-bit beta of Windows 2000 codenamed "Janus" (like the Windows 3.1 beta). These are not going to help you on an x86 or x86_64 box, though. Maybe I'll try to boot the Vista DVD using EFI on my Intel Mac.ĪFAIK, the only Windows versions officially supporting EFI are Windows XP and Server 2003 for Itanium. That puzzles me a bit because EFI files should have an. Inside this folder, there is a "microsoft\boot" folder with a 256KB "bcd" file in it. Not sure if that means anything to the EFI support, though. That's what I read as well, however, there is still an "efi" folder on the DVDs of Vista and Longhorn Server (at least in the builds that I have). ![]() I saw somewhere that they'd dropped EFI from Vista, but I'm not 100% sure.
