I'm trying to install iATKOS v7.
I have installed VMware 6.5 workstation on Windows Vista.

I have created a Virtual Machine on VMware with this specs:
Memory: 2048MB
Hard Disk (IDE): 15GB
CD ROM (IDE): Using my iATKOS v7 iso file

Now when I power on this Virtual Machine, it shows me some screen with some text like Darwin and give me two option: i.e. to press F8 or to press enter...
When I press enter, it shows me light grey screen with Apple on it and restarts..
When I press F8 and type any command (like -v, etc) it clears the screen, then restarts...

Can anybody install Mac on this Virtual Machine?
