This is an easy guidebook, Install OS X El Capitan on VirtualBox on PC. What is a VirtualBox? VirtualBox is basically a program, over which you can install and eventually run OS X with Intel-based and AMD processor. VirtualBox does support DMG files. As you can see in my screenshot, when browsing from the VirtualBox medium finder, Explorer lists DMG in the 'supported file types' section. The supported file-types section gets its' information from the Windows file associations that are set when you install a program. I posted an answer on ( Does Virtualbox support DMG files on non-Mac OSes?), it was deleted, and cannot be undeleted. The reason being that it was declared as not an answer, but it is.
Updated 8/2/2011 Lion Update With the recent release of Lion, there is a push to get a Lion version working on VirtualBox. At present, there is yet no boot loader capable of booting Lion on VirtualBox. So, for now, Snow Leopard is still it for a standalone MacOS on VirtualBox. I will update this article as necessary to address a working installation of Lion as it progresses. Nawcom Mod CD There is a new CD image from Nawcom () that makes installation of MacOS X much easier on VirtualBox (instead of using Prasys’ EFI boot CDs). And yes, I’ve tried it.

The Nawcom EFI CD is much faster for installation because it does some very clever things, including installing the boot loader at the end of the install.

A Mac OS X Install Disk that comes bundled with any Mac system will only install on the hardware with which it came bundled. For example, if you try to install from a bundled DVD media that was shipped along with a MacBook Pro, it will not install on Virtualbox and you will see the error ‘Mac OS X cannot be installed on this computer’.

Because Apple wants you to buy into their hardware platforms, they would prefer you not run Mac OS X on Virtual Environments. I personally think, however, that this idea is both socially and ecologically irresponsible.
