Installing Mac OSX Lepord in Vista (Virtual PC)

[dbaxter]

Ok, so I'm using an ISO of Mac OS X Lepord to mount in microsoft virtual pc (free download from microsoft.com). I've tried installing it, but it doesn't seem to work. Is it impossible?
My system type is a 32-bit operating system,
2 gigs ram
200 gig hd (60g free)
Intel Core2 Duo CPU - T5450 @ 1.66 GHz 1.67 GHz
running vista.

I have tried it a couple different ways:

When i start the virtual machine, it says
"press any key to boot from cd, hit F8 to enter start up options."

when I press any key, the apple screen shows up for about 2 seconds
an error message pops up saying "an unrecoverable processor error has occured, the virtual machine will reset now"
and it resets.

If i hit F8, it shows a list of startup volumes. only one, because i only have one cd mounted then it says:
Press enter to start Darwin/x86 with no options.
Or you can type -v and start up with diagnostic messages
Or you can type ? and learn about advanced startup options

I hit -v and enter, and... it does the same thing, unrecoverable processor error. it just lists a bunch of drivers loading before it does, like when you boot to safe mode in xp, that list of drivers that slides down your screen before boot.

so i noticed one other thing. when the vmachine starts up, saying press any key to boot from cd, if i dont hit anything, and it counts down (starts at 9), when it gets all the way down, screen goes black and it says "system config file '/com.apple.boot.plist' not found.

so there it is, i hope this is even possible. let me know! thanks!

Welcome to Techimo.
You can't due to hardware incompatibility. Here's more information on Virtual PC.

Try this;
VirtualBox

Will you not still need an .iso file to load into VirtalBox?
