"EFI Vmware Virtual SCSI Hard Drive" Error on Mac OS X Guest

[Kleidi]

Hello to everyone.

In the last 4-5 days i have tried to install Mac OS X Maverick on my PC via vmware Workstation (v10 - last one) but, I’m new on both of them and i’m having some problems on running them. I’m using Win 7 Ultimate x64 on AsRock Motherboard, 8GB Ram DDR3, i5 third generation CPU. I have enabled by default the visualization on Bios. I have unlocked vmware and i can see Mac OS x option on it. When i start the vmware image downloaded (Maverick), it shows a flash message that says:

Attempting to start up from:

• EFI Vmware Virtual SCSI Hard Drive (0.0) ...

...and then restarts...and repeats it until i shut it down.

Would someone help me on this, please?

Thank you in advance!

P.S. Attached you will found my log.

VMware does not support the running of OS X under VMware Player/Workstation!  Also, running legally virtualizable versions of OS X in a Virtual Machine may only be done when done on Apple-branded hardware and when done while running under OS X and for that you need VMware Fusion not VMware Player/Workstation otherwise you're violating the Apple SLA for that product.  Therefore no help can be provided to you for OS X in this use case scenario as it would violate VMware Community Terms of Use to do so.

WoddyZ thank you for your reply. I didn't new 😞 Sorry

I'll try on Fusion then.

Thanks again and have a nice day 😉

Ups...seems that Fusion is only for Mac, so nothing to do. Thank you again.

Yes it's for a Mac as the SLA requires installing/running OS X on Apple-branded hardware or in a VM on Apple-branded hardware under OS X.  To install OS X on a plain PC, physical or virtual, is illegal!
