My friend give me mountain lion on a disc to use as I want some mac software but I can't install it. I have been using VMware and vmbox but I can get it working as my CPU doesn't have VT, is there anyway around this to use it
Why not ask Apple support? ;)
It is contrary to Apple's EULA to install Mac OS on non-Apple hardware. Installation on a virtual machine is allowed, but only if it is running on a Mac. Apple of course will not help.
mm... usually it's the other way round - want to install a windows OS on a Mac system; which can be done two ways. I have Macs with XP on one (Parallels) and win-7 on the other (Bootcamp). I have seen how to install/run Mac OS on a Windows PC - but it's hassle to achieve and may not work very successfully overall... It is done as an OS in its own right - not via a VM of any sort. Also I think it prefers a 64bit capable system...?
If you trawl appropriately you may find the how to go about it "out there" - although it's been a long while since I read the info; so it may not be around anymore, or not pertinent to Mountain Lion.
Incidentally I think you may also need to license your installation too - if you want to run it/update it etc. properly?
And - what is VT - with regard your cpu?
