How should I run the batch file? The file is apparently harmful if I run it from my PC.

good hack

i think your antivirus is harmful, find a good files, the bad files have a free way xD

[Exidous]

I'm not seeing the proper locations on the file explorer after hitting F12. Should this be done after restarting the system?

I've gone into the repair utility and recreated the virtual 35GB partition to install to. Seems to be working.

For anyone else, if you see the below at the boot manager you need to go into the disk utility, delete the 35GB virtual HDD partition and recreate it using the mac OS.

If I have Linux does the bat file also execute there or is there any problem with that??

[MaLd0n]

the bat is for windows, run commands

[bigbird12345]

I notice that you show a vmdk file in the initial step but a vdi file for the High Sierra specific step. Was this intentional?

[MaLd0n]

U can use both, just take a shot

You can make a bash script like this

#!/bin/sh
VBoxManage modifyvm "Mac" --cpuidset 00000001 000106e5 00100800 0098e3fd bfebfbff
VBoxManage setextradata "Mac" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiSystemProduct" "iMac11,3"
VBoxManage setextradata "Mac" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiSystemVersion" "1.0"
VBoxManage setextradata "Mac" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiBoardProduct" "Iloveapple"
VBoxManage setextradata "Mac" "VBoxInternal/Devices/smc/0/Config/DeviceKey" "ourhardworkbythesewordsguardedpleasedontsteal(c)AppleComputerInc"
VBoxManage setextradata "Mac" "VBoxInternal/Devices/smc/0/Config/GetKeyFromRealSMC" 1
VBoxManage setextradata "Mac" "VBoxInternal2/EfiGraphicsResolution" "1920x1080"

 

Just be sure your VM is named "Mac"

I keep having a black screen with code on during install and the mac os X installer won't come up.

[KijarGames]

I get an error message saying "Could not open file 'mach_kernel' (0xe)"

[MaLd0n]

the error appears in some cases, but work, just wait

[KijarGames]

after Mach_kernal failure thing, I also get "Boot Failed", continues on and evenutuallly gets to "root device uuid is 'EA0 (and so on)'". Doesn't move on from that, just stays like that

[Bigmas74]

Thanks

It was an interesting Guide

Note : do not select in storage that hard as solid state otherwise in High Sierra it will convert to AFPS and will not boot

[Muneeb4m]

My system keeps restarting a few seconds after the black screen with white coding shows up and goes back to the first screen It keeps doing this again and again. Can anybody help me?

Hi MaLd0n

I seem to run into a problem during the install. It asks me to choose which disk to install to, but there is nothing there to select.

Please see the attached screenshot.

Do you have any idea why this is happening?

[MaLd0n]

[ref]supercallous[/ref], idk, i never see this problem

[supercallous]

I managed to get it right by following the guide below:

Hope this helps anyone else experiencing the same issue.

Added in 19 minutes 43 seconds:

[ref]MaLd0n[/ref], it was related to the type of file system being used. VirtualBox doesn't yet support AppleFS, so I had to tell the installation to use the recovery partition as that is where the install files get copied to. It then completed the installation once I had done this and ejected the ISO from the VM.
