I tried everything and got nothing. Including unzipping the vmdk file inside the “VM name” folder……->Nothing. It will run bash verbose etc, and stop at an error line….as long as I wait, the installation won’t start.
Is it because I use an AMD?
I tried with AMD X2 3.0, with 8192 ram and a GT610

I was having problems getting passed the boot loader black screen, then I installed the latest windows 10 update from here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

click the update now button, after that it loaded up and started the mac installer in about 2 minutes.

I also disabled hyper-v and wls2 in the additional windows features, not sure i needed to do that though.

Hi,

I have been able to install Catalina 10.15.5 without any hitches by following the instructions. Thanks for this man. I am not able to connect the trackpad of my laptop to the VM. Also there is no audio output.
Laptop used: Latitude 7400, 8GB RAM, 512 SSD, i7-8665U.

In reply to Mayer Lench. I found the boot.efi under com.apple.installer. However, it does not work. It gives me a black screen with a bunch of log

Waste of time. Like everyone else, I get the command prompt with the shell.

In reply to Andy Narain. I got the same prompt, just type exit and then you will see a new window with options, choose the boot one and select the geekrar disk by moving the arrow down and press enter, screen should go black and then you will see all the white text

In reply to Arkan.

Thanks it is working for me now but the correct command is :
VBoxManage.exe modifyvm “Your Virtual Machine Name” –cpu-profile “Intel Core i7-6700K”

I think you’re missing this command to setup the VM:
VBoxManage modifyvm “Your Virtual Machine Name” –cpu-profile “Intel Core i7-6700K”

This got me through the “failed to load boot0001” when booting the VM for the first time.

If you get the shell, types “exit” => Boot Maintenance Manager => Boot From File
Choose the recovery and find the installer file, it ends in .efi
