Running OS X from a partition in vmware workstation / virtualbox

Question

Hi all,

?

I have a Thinkpad X220 with OSX mountan lion working install on separate partition with Chameleon bootloader.

I can't use WiFi because my Intel 6205 wifi card is not supported.

?

Since I don't have much harddrive space I'd like to run OS X in a virtual machine from windows from the existing physical partition.

?

vmware workstation allows this very easily but now I get this (see image below) : "Can't find" (just that)

?

?

I've tried several -rd:diskXsY combinations but it doesn't help.

?

So ... Can any of you help me any further?

?

Thanks so much!

?

Cheers!

p.s. If anyone had advise on which wifi card to buy as a replacement: please (I had a crappy chinese ordered through ebay Dell thing that fell apart when I installed it).

At the time of this posting, there is no attachment... :P

My card is the Apple BCM94321MC, if you want a similar one, go for the BCM94322MC, it has native AirDrop support. :encouragement:

p.s. That?BCM94322MC works fine in windows 7 too?

?

p.s.2. I wonder if it will fit. I formerly ordered this and it looks much smaller:?

Yes, mine works fine in Windows, although if you want to use something like Connectify, you'll need to download more recent drivers than what Microsoft provides.

?

This is how mine looks like:

Ah, thanks, but that looks too big for this hole:

And: The original Virtual Machine - question remains open ;)
