tstevens Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Hey I am wanting to install OS X on my Vostro 3400. It's been quite a while since I used OS X86 so I'm not quite sure where to start. Specs: Processor: Intel Core i3 370m (2.41GHz, 1066MHz, 3MB) -- 2 cores with 4 threads Memory (RAM): 4GB Dual Channel DDR3 at 1066MHz Hard drive: 320GB 7200rpm (faster than standard 5400rpm laptop drives) Display: 14.1” HD (1366x768) LED Display (matte not glossy) Graphics: Nvidia GeForce 310M (512MB) and Intel HD (Dual video cards) Optical Drive: 8x CD/DVD burner (DVD/-RW/R) with Dual-Layer Bluetooth: Dell Wireless 365 Bluetooth Internal (2.1 + Enhanced Data Rate) Battery: 6-cell Lithium Ion battery (56 WHr) Additional: Webcam, Card Reader, VGA, HDMI, 3x USB ports, Ethernet, Kensington lock port Really hoping I can get OS X running on this. Any help is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arjunamltd Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Anyone? Maybe you can visit tonymac website http://tonymacx86.com/ first. You can tried different approach there. The summary is like this (assume that you already have a Macosx installer DVD) 1. Boot with bootlader, you can try using boot from tony, or hackboot, or if you have a Hackintosh unit or a real mac, you can tried inject flash disk or external hdd with Chimerra boot loader for tony or chameleon. 2. After that you have a bootloader, tried to boot itu from your computer, and try to run a macosx installer with verbose mode (flag -v). 3. If somehow the installer get stuck, take a picture of your screen, and post it here. 4. good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
