I’ve never been a Mac fan, but I do have to say that our family does have several Apple products in our home, 2 iPads and an iPhone for the kids and my wife. Whether I like to admit it or not they do make a highly polished quality product. It had been an interest of mine recently to run Mac OS X on my powerhouse PC at home, but I wanted it to run as virtual machine. I raked over some sites that stated it was not possible, I found that rather funny I mean how is it not possible doesn’t Mac run on Intel hardware nowadays anyhow? Then I stumbled on this.
It does a good job at showing the basic steps, however it doesn’t explain much along the way, I figured it would be good to break this down and explain it. Download this (approx. 6 GB), within this file is a file called Yosemite 10.10 Retail VMware.rar, this needs to be extracted to a location of your choice, preferably onto a SSD. This rar file contains VMware prepped OS X files (vmx, vmdk) for use with VMware products. Install VMware Workstation or VMware Player, I chose the Workstation route since I already had it installed.
Confirm VMware Workstation or VMware Player is installed correctly, and close the program. Download the latest, at the time of writing it is. Extract the contents of OS X Unlocker onto your computer.
OS X Unlocker essentially patches the installed VMware product so Mac OS X can be installed. It does this modifying some core VMware system files. Browse to the folder where you extracted OS X Unlocker and Run the following files As Administrator ( win-install.cmd and win-update-tools.cmd) Note: if something goes wrong or you’d like to restore the original files for your VMware application you can run win-uninstall.cmd. Run VMware Workstation or VMware Player and select Open a Virtual Machine. Select the Mac OS X 10.9.vmx file and select Open. Go to Edit virtual machine settings.
Either by right clicking on the Mac OS X 10.9 object on the left side panel or via the tabbed window. You can keep the default resources if you prefer or bump them up, I personally bumped them up to 8 GB and 2 vCPU. The important option here is Version which is on the Options tab. This needs to be set to Mac OS X 10.7. This option is not available by default, the OS X Unlocker we ran earlier has exposed this option.
If for some reason you don’t see this option, look at re-running the OS X Unlocker steps, it needs to be Run as Administrator. Now power on the Virtual Machine using Power on this virtual machine or by right clicking and going to Power Start Up Guest. The machine will boot up and take you through the OS X setup process, it’s very quick and painless.
Once complete it’s now time to install the latest VMware Tools onto the newly created OS X VM. You may have picked up on it when we ran win-update-tools.cmd for OS X Unlocker it pulled down the latest and greatest for us to mount and install.
Right click on the Mac OS X 10.9 VM on the left side and go to Settings. Go to CD/DVD and go to Browse and mount the darwin.iso file. Make sure Connected is checked!.
The VMware Tools installer should pop right up, just click Install VMware Tools and then reboot upon completion. If you want to take it a step further to improve the VM performance there is tool called BeamOff which is included in this file we downloaded in step 1. This tool disables beam synchronization which in turn improves OS X VM performance. Mount the Beamoff Tool.iso similarly to VMware Tools in the step previous.
Alternately you can download zip and do this yourself if you prefer. Extract the BeamOff application to somewhere on your VM. Go to System Preferences. Go to Users & Groups. Click on your User account and select Login Items, click the + and browse and select beamoff. At the time of this writing OS X El Capitan is now available, if you want to apply it, go fetch the update from the App Store and install it!

Make you sure that you have a Bootable USB with windows 7 then in cause if you failed to install OS X then reinstall windows 7 again and if you want to install OS X then you have to create a partition for OS X to install it on that drive. So in this cause you will need to partition the Disk, mostly it happened to me while installing OS X, the system couldn’t create the partition for OS X because it wants to erase or clean the hole disk and when I did then I was able to partition the disk for OS X. Hi, i have installed el capitan in my lenovo laptop,at 1st time it stopped at missing Bluetooth controller,after that with some changes in boot flags i went into the el capitan and using multibeast i have installed the necessary drivers and boot loaders.

I’m very new to this! Hello, I’m trying to install this Release on a Samsung R720 Laptop (4GB RAM, Transcend SSD 370S, ATI® Mobility Radeon HD4650 1024 MB GDDR3, Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.2GHz), but after booting up the first stages, the screen turns black and the laptop reboots. I’ve also tried a couple of combinations of the advised line: npci=0x3000, npci=0x2000, USBBusFix=Yes, cpus=1, PCIRootUID=1, IGPEnabler=Yes or IGPEnabler=No, GraphicsEnabler=Yes or GraphicsEnabler=No Can you help me, please?
Here’s some screenshots Thank you Boot process: Last sign of life: BIOS Settings (Phoenix). I’ve tried two HDMI cables on two different monitors and I couldn’t switch to the external screen, all FN-Functions work, except for this one and I have the suspicion that this feature (switch to external screen) is a software driven feature once a GUI is started. I remember I was able doing that when Linux was installed, but obviously durin boot while in text mode, this isn’t working for that Laptop. (For a Zotac zbox it DOES work). What I’ve also tried: Close the Laptop Lid as the Laptop turns off the internal Display, but that didn’t help either.
I guess, now I’m out of options, or are there more things which I could try? Greetings Mike. Well, as I said, I do not see anything on the screen. I think the issue I’m having is rather that in my BIOS I cannot set the SATA mode to AHCI and there is also no option in the BIOS to let UEFI boot first.
I only can chose “Legacy support” on/off and that spoils the boot of the stick. Moreover I’ve tried the classic way with downloading Osx El Capitan from the App Store and installed it to the stick with UniBeast. In both methods, I cannot even see the first Clover Menu due to lack of the mentioned BIOS option. There is no BIOS updates for that Laptop.
I think I have to give up on that Laptop. Thanks for your quick reply. I tried MultiBeast 8.2.1 which is bundled with USB installation options.
2 (3rd Party USB 3.0, 7/8/9 Series USB Support) pass and 1 fails (Increase Max Port Limit). When I finish, reject USB and try to boot from Hard directly, login screen appears, graphics seems to be installed properly, but USB keyboard and mouse are not working at all. (Booting from USB and then starting system from hard is totally fine.) I use Legacy Boot (not UEFI) which I wonder this is a problem. I searched and checked a lot of articles, but it seems like MultiBeast 8.2.1 contains most of their workaround. (FakePCIID.kext and FakePCIIDXHCIMux.kext) I use Dell Optiplex 7010, will you please check if this model doesn’t meet the requirements of El Capitan?.
At STEP #7, I think it’d be better to mention the installation requires 2 times of reboot. Also want to avoid confusion on these 2 things, selecting USB from BIOS boot menu and then booting from USB actually (Sorry, I might miss something). Thanks again!
