VMWare MacOSX does not support boot camp.

[Nicandreo]

hey how u guys doing.

i managed to install a macosx catalina on VMware workstation.

but there is a little problem and i cannot use boot camp to create bootable windows 7 USB to install on macbooks.

i work for a computer wholesale company in my country. we mostly use this macs with windows OS and its annoying cause macs are really expensive in here so we bring them mac OS refurbished here to use this mac mainly for accounting and light use like internet cafe and things like that.

this mac are bring to us with wiped HDDs so there is no mac installed to install with boot camp.

i want to make a bootable USB for this macs to install windows without boot camp and boot from option menu directly to windows installation and don't need to install mac and use bootcamp with it cause it will save a lot of time for us using usb bootable drive. the mac we use is mainly mid 2007 and late 2009 macbooks so they are using ODD so we have use DVDs to install windows directly and mostly make lots of lots dead DVD because of malfunctioning odd or jammed ones.

2007 one and 2009 one models

it will be a huge time saving solution if i can use usb and do not have to use odd or even external odd to do that.

so i created a vmware macosx catalina on my pc to make a bootable windows 7 usb to do that but there is a little problem that is said "This Mac does not support Boot Camp." and "This Mac does not support Boot Camp." in vmware.

i cloud not found any solution to fix this problem. can u guys help me out?

and we can't install mac on them because of time problems and heavy workload during our day also not be able to bring them to home for this job to do.

You should be able to make a bootable windows install for a mac using windows with a tool like rufus, Ive done that that before.

 

Also you should really stay awawy from from windows 7, lots of security holes.

Yes it works but after first windows installation restart it does not boot and stuck at white screen. almost all of them are like this.

Our customers are usually using them offline expect some so we are warn them for this problem too

this macs does not support win 10 either.

Recent versions of mac os won't even create a bootable usb to install boot camp, they just install straight from an iso. 

 

You need to install an older mac os version on one of each of the various models you have and have the bootcamp assistant create an USB for each of those models that you keep at hand since this process also grabs the Windows drivers for that model that are basically impossible to obtain differently.

 

Not sure that even still works with macs that old though. Wouldn't be surprised if Apple took down the servers that provided the Windows drivers.

This kinda makes no sense, should be much easier and faster to install mac os than Windows.

So can u only tell me how to fix this problem?

Only i want to run boot camp from vm.

I figure out all other problems and found drivers and softwares only thing remaining is this vm problem.

And also mac takes about 20min and windows take that much time too but with usb windows installation it takes about half of that time.
