Downloaded a 4.几 GB Apple operating system image (ISO) file from the internet and want to change XP to Apple system. Can use GRUB to load the ISO at startup to install Apple operating system. The software introduced in "DOS Boot Disk & LOGO Technology (Boot Disk Room)" can load the ISO under DOS but cannot install. Load the Apple operating system image (ISO) file to a virtual CD-ROM, then let the VMware virtual machine start and boot from this virtual CD-ROM to install Apple operating system. Hope GRUB can load the ISO like loading a virtual CD-ROM. Can GRUB do this? How to do it?

楼主，The ordinary PC cannot install the Apple system because its system microcode is not based on X86! The CPU of Apple computers is IBM's POWERPC, not the ordinary INTEL or AMD!
