FINAL TIPS
if it gives error during booting
make your your hard is at IDE 0:0
(go to machine setting>>harddisk >> advance)
if error still comes then go to ur virtual machine folder and image folder
and delete the .lck folders
e.g Chrome OS.vmx.lck

If it gives error then make sure you clicked bridge and not NAT
and also go to network connects and play around with these.
e.g i changed one to from 192.168.54.1 to 192.168.1.8
my pc also has same subnet (192.168.1.*)

hope it helps

THATS ALL

you can also use the torrent or any other link.. whatever makes your life easy.
someone asked for RS link.. so here its for them.

and another was asking about what is VMware?
Layman answer: Just like Virtual CD, its a virtual PC. and like you can insert cd images in virtual cd. you can install OS inside VMware. which means you can try mac while still being on windows. (i hope it answers ur question)

so after downloading, install VMware. (normal click next etc.)

and extract .bz OS file using winrar

now fire up your virtual machine

and click new virtual machine

and click typical

then select I will install OS later and click next

after that choose linux ubuntu and then next

then name ur mahcine and spacify its location

after that give it some size. though it says 20 but it doesn't matters
we are gonna delete this anyway

now before finishing spacify ur hardware

Now this is imporant

go to network and unselect NAT and click bridge and opion below it as shown

i tried messing with resolution here.. though it didn;t work.
anyway i'll show u how to change later
so you can skip this step

here was something that i did.. though it didn't made any sense.
i was getting logging in error so i removed my CD-ROM and Floppy
and it worked..
so you might also wanna do same...
as shown below

ok alomst done
so click ok and finish

and you will notice new virtual pc is made..

no click its settings to load chrome

select that hard disk which we created earlier and remove it

click add
select new hard
and click next

click use existing hard.. and next

browse for your OS which u downloaded and select it and also convet it to new format
if it asks

click ok and go back
now we are good
make ur your hard size is 2.8GB (if not then u didn't loaded file properly)
and lets start this much awaited OS

Enter you login details (make a fake account just to be secure)

and bingo you are in

to full screen click here

and to access apps go here
