Post by Timo21594 »

Hi. I'm trying to install OS X Tiger in PearPC 0.5 with VBGui. I followed the Setup Guide on this Site. I selected my Tiger.iso Image an then i clicked on Start. I selected the Partition "cdrom". Afterthat. PearPC closed automatically. That is the Text from the Log.

Hi,

There can be several reasons why you can't boot. Are you using a dvd or a cd image to boot from? How did you rip the CD or DVD to get an image?
Can you post the content of the pearpc config file?

Best,

Other questions: is the image locked? Is it currently mounted (by the host or some other system)?
