I can't select hard disk to setup MAC OS X 10.4

[ARCHIVED] About PearPC, a mostly obsolete PPC Mac emulator for Windows and Linux to run MacOS X 10.1 up to 10.4. Using QEMU is now recommended.

Hi,

Did you restart Pearpc after you partitioned and formatted the virtual disk?

This should do the trick. If it doesn't, please paste your config file here and tell us where you got the disk image from.

Best wishes

Ok,

That config is looking good.
But first, set: prom_env_machargs = "-v"
to: prom_env_machargs = ""

And try again.
Could you show us a screenshot of the pearpc start-up disk selection window and a screenshot of the disk utility window?
Does the "ein gebusch" disk show up at all?

Best wishes,

Hi,

How long did you let pearpc "gather information" in the disk utility? It can take some time.

The pearpc version you use could be replaced by a newer one from:
http://richardgoodwin.com/wp/cvsbuilds.php

Download one of the two last builds, depending on you machine, and unpack the zip file. Copy only the ppc.exe to your PearPC folder and start again. If that doesn't solve your problem, my guess would be the disk image you are using is in error.

Download a disk image from:
http://www.pearpc.net/links.php (under HD Images)
and try with that.

Good luck,
Cat_7
