So thanks for the efforts, but this particular file is not complete. It appears other versions of 10.6 are larger than this 5.2 GB file. MacOS High Sierra, versioned as 10.13, includes. The new software update includes a variety of refinements and enhancements to the Mac operating system, along with a handful of new features.

So if you do not have the very specific install discs for your very specific Apple hardware product, you might not have the correct drivers. Apple has released the final version of macOS High Sierra, available to download now for the general public. In addition, not all Mac OS X discs are the same even if they have the same version numbers because drivers for devices installed in the iMac are sometimes different than drivers for devices in a MacBook Pro, for a Mac Mini, vs other Apple products. And without the correct Bootcamp WINDOWS drivers installed in your Windows version, it will not be completely functional. Name your vertical machine as OSX and choose Mac. And all efforts to find a way to install Bootcamp Windows drivers without the original UNTOUCHED 10.6 Retail DVD have failed. Download and install the freshest version of VirtualBox for your OS. But that is what is missing from this 10.6 DVD. If the Windows partition is present on the DVD, then the Bootcamp SETUP.EXE file will appear and all is good. Then following the prompts you install your Windows OS.Īfter the Windows OS is installed you are supposed to remove the Windows DVD you are using, then insert this Mac OS 10.6 DVD again while you are within Windows. Then run the Bootcamp Assistant in the Mac OS Utilities folder.
To install Windows, you first install the Mac OS. But to install the Windows partition this IMG file is incomplete. So if your goal is the Mac OS only, this is fine. What I suspect happened is that this disc copied the Mac OS partition correctly but did not copy the Windows partition correctly.
However, when I went to use the Bootcamp Assistant to install Windows, the Bootcamp Windows drivers were missing and it seems impossible to download them independently. Burned to a DVD-DL and worked like a charm to install the Mac OS.
