adg12012 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 hi, ive been trying for a few days to install osx on my dell inspiron e1705 and i cant seem to get it right. i think the problem is either the drivers im initially selecting when i click "customize" before installing, or additional drivers i need to install afterwards. I'm using the iAKOS v5i DVD to do this install (if there exists a better or more up to date iso, please inform me) The part of the install i dont know how to do is selecting all the various things after i click "customize" before installing. Ive tried lots of combinations of drivers (basically just guessing and checking) and have gotten results ranging from straight up not booting to my touch pad and keyboard not being detected. On the install i currently have, my screen resolution is correct (a first) meaning i probably picked the right graphics drivers. My usb port and cd drive work, but my ethernet, wifi, and sound do not. my keyboard and mouse work but my mouse will constantly freeze and refuse to move. Anyways, im just gunna list my system information and if anyone could tell me which drivers to pick when doing a fresh install, or a way to fix my current install, that would be awesome. Dell Inspiron e1705 Intel Core2 Duo processor 2.0gHz nVidia GeForce Go 7900 GS audio controller: Sigmatel 9200 modem controller: conexant HDA D110 MDC Wi-Fi Device: Intel Wireless note: im pretty ok with computers but alot of this stuff i really dont understand so try to be as detailed as possible, thank you Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/149962-need-help-with-installing-drivers/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
