Download OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion Developer Preview 4 VMware Image and Run It on Windows 7 Computer

  4:21 AM    Santosh

OS X Mountain Lion Developer Preview 4 was released for developers as build 12A239. To download Developer Preview 4, registered developers will need to log into the developer center and retrieve a download code which can be used within the Mac App Store. Apple's OS X Mountain Lion version 10.8 is the ninth and next major release of OS X, Apple's desktop and server operating system for Macintosh computers.

Apple has hinted at WWDC2012 that Developer Preview 4 was close to the release candidate, and then announced that OS X 10.8 will be available to everyone through the Mac App Store next month for $20. Though DP4 is the most stable beta release yet, it still has a fair amount of bugs and is therefore only appropriate for developers to use.

 System requirements:

  • Mac with an Intel x64

  • 2GB of RAM

  • Language: Multilingual


OS X Mountain Lion DP4 VMware Image Changelog

  • - Apple dropped support for 32-bit mode in DP2 of Mountain Lion, so make sure you keep the VMware Settings flagged as "Mac OS X 10.7 64-bit"  otherwise no bootable medium will be detected. We are currently working on a workaround for this.

  • - Comes with direct download links as usual, should be faster this time.

  • - Completely Vanilla build. Drivers are purely patched Apple files.

  • - Continued new packaging for smaller download.

  • - Fresh installation of 10.8 DP4, everything was fixed during installation.

  • - Make sure VT is turned on in your BIOS, if available.

  • - No comment on AMD systems. Same applies as previously mentioned here.

  • - Reasonably quick boot time, about 1 minute 15 seconds on average.

  • - Recommended you run on the latest version of VMware, as that's what it was tested on, and apparently fixes Apple logo stalling.

  • - Several driver patches to allow as best a universal build as possible.

  • - Snappier system. Clicks receive response almost (if not) instantaneously.

  • - We uploaded an updated VMware Tools to our Mediafire folder here. Hopefully these should work better than in the last 10.8 image.

"7GB free for all new SkyDrive users. We chose 7GB as it provides enough space for over 99% of people to store their entire Office document library and share photos for several years, along with room for growth. To put things in perspective, 99.94% of SkyDrive customers today use 7GB or less – and 7GB is enough for over 20,000 Office documents or 7,000 photos. Since the current base of customers using SkyDrive tilts towards enthusiasts, we are confident that, as we expand the range of people using SkyDrive, this 7GB free limit will prove to be more than enough for even more people."

"We know that many of you signed up for a service that offered 25GB, and some are already using more than 7GB of storage. So, starting today, for a limited time, any registered SkyDrive user *who has uploaded files to SkyDrive* as of April 22nd can opt in to keep 25GB of free storage while still getting all of the benefits of the new service. (For users who are already using more than 4GB as of April 1, we’ve automatically opted you in to 25GB of free storage to avoid any issues.) "

So lets get started follow below steps to enable your SkyDrive account..

  5:53 AM    Santosh

Today While working on System Preparation Tool (Sysprep) in Windows 7, I received the following error message:

A fatal error occurred while trying to Sysprep the machine.



After spending quite time I found the soution for the error. And the solution is,


1. Go to Sysprerp folder i.e.  c:\windows\system32\sysprep\Partner


2. Then move or delete all contents of the Partner folder to another folder for backup purpose.


3. Now run the sysprep.exe


For few user's sysprerp starts by stopping  mediaplayer process running and by uninstalling & installing mstdc. For me everything without success but above steps works 100%.
