Atleast you would be able to do things on your Windows that were meant for Mac users only. Here is the step by step procedure to install Mac Lion OS on VirutalBox. Guide To Install Mac OS X Lion On Windows Using VirtualBox. Computer / laptop running on Windows 64 bit as Mac OS X Lion is a 64 bit OS; 4 GB of RAM. I decided to install OS X 10.4 as a guest on my iMac running 10.6 so that I can use an old printer that's no longer supported in 10.6. I went through the usual steps of creating the guest and a new drive for it to use but when the guest session starts my 10.4 CD doesn't boot so I can't run the installation. Step One: Create a macOS High Sierra ISO File. To start, we’ll need to create an ISO file of macOS. Before we install OS X, we’ll need to set up VirtualBox so the OS X install disc can boot correctly. Here’s what you need to do: Step 1: Launch VirtualBox and click the New button. Give your new virtual machine a name (I just called it “Mac OS X”) and set the operating system to “Mac OS X Server (64-bit)”.

The Virtual CD/DVD-ROM Utility is a tool to aid mounting a CD/DVD ROM image file onto the desktop of a classic Mac OS. - The kind of image file types it can mount, may be .CDR, .DSK, .IMG (Disk Copy 6 .ISO compatible), .ISO, .TOAST, etc.
An image file once mounted by the Virtual CD/DVD-ROM Utility, can often be used to fool application installers and games programs that require a physical CD/DVD to be inserted, i.e.; to accept a virtual mounted image as being the expected genuine hardware copy.
It can also be used to create .ISO compatible image files labeled '.iso', from mounted media such as CD or DVD-ROM, or from CD and DVD image files mounted by other software such as Disk Copy or Toast, etc.

MD5 checksum & filename: 871b850b881286c297af1ea7874aef98 *Alt_VirtualCDTyper.sit - Notable changes in the version 1.0d3 update include:
- The Utility now creates files with an included '.iso' filename extension and saves to it's own native file 'Creator Type'. That is; it now creates native Virtual CD/DVD-ROM Utility '.iso' files which are double-clickable to mount by the utility. Whereas previously it would save disk image files with a Toast 'Creator Type' and filename suffix ending in '•image'.
- Note: Version 1.0d3 Virtual CD/DVD-ROM Utility native '.iso' files are still able to be mounted and used by Toast, if necessary.
- Update v1.0d3 - now shows application name 'Virtual CD/DVD-ROM Utility' in title bar of the running application window.
- Updates v1.0d1 & v1.0d3: The wording at the top of the UI and buttons have been updated to give a clearer more meaningful indication of this Utilities potential.
- Changes have been made to various resources. Mainly to update the icons, and version data and to add basic Balloon Help.
- Update v1.0d1: Added is a new Finder icon, for Virtual CD/DVD images that can now be auto-loaded by (or dropped onto) the Virtual CD/DVD-ROM Utility. Also included is 'Virtual CD AutoTyper', a dropper program to assist in the process of making image files 'Virtual CD/DVD-ROM Utility native'.
- The Utility now creates files with an included '.iso' filename extension and saves to it's own native file 'Creator Type'. That is; it now creates native Virtual CD/DVD-ROM Utility '.iso' files which are double-clickable to mount by the utility. Whereas previously it would save disk image files with a Toast 'Creator Type' and filename suffix ending in '•image'.
For a full list of v1.0d3 changes view the enclosed 'ReadMe' docs (in SimpleText & PDF formats).
CompatibilityArchitecture: 68k
68k code only, 68020 CPU or better. Possibly could run on 68000 CPU but requires 4MB or more RAM to load. Runs flawlessly on all PPC Macs capable of running under a classic Mac OS. This utility does not work in the Classic environment of Mac OS X
System Requirements:
- Any Macintosh physically or theoretically capable of mounting and reading CD-ROM media etc. This includes Macintosh clones and emulators, 68k and PPC.
- Macintosh OS from System Software 7.0 to Mac OS 9.2.2
- Macintosh CD/DVD Drivers (these are usually installed as Extensions by the System). If running Mac OS's prior to 7.5 you may need to locate these drivers and install them yourself:
- Apple CD Driver (or Apple CD/DVD Driver as installed by later OS's)
- Audio CD Access
- Foreign File Access
- ISO 9660 File Access
Limitations:
- To create or use images greater than 2GB you need an HFS+ volume and Mac OS 9.x, otherwise System 7.x to Mac OS 8.x is OK
- This software can successfully create images from Hybrid Mac/Win media. It requires first the Windows partition of the CD to be mounted. To do this you need to use the 'Joliet Volume Access Control Panel to swap the mounted CD's Mac partition to the Windows part, before ripping. It can also mount hybrid CD image files.
- Note: It however, cannot create or mount mixed data/music, bin/cue images.
- Some image files are not CD/DVD .ISO compatible and will not mount onto a desktop using the Virtual DVD-ROM/CD Utility. Such as; compressed image files, for example: Disk Copy 6.x compressed images, or Mac OS X .dmg files, etc. An error message you might get if the Utility fails to mount an image file, is: 'There are insufficient system resources to mount this image'.
See the included 'ReadMe' doc for more information and tips for some workarounds of this issue. - The included 'Virtual CD AutoTyper' may not recognize files dropped onto its icon initially and doesn't appear to work. If so, then you need to Rebuild the Mac's Desktop Database to fix this issue.
