BenRu Posted June 27, 2010 Author Share Posted June 27, 2010 Why SL Retails 8gb and Hazard 4gb? Where is the diference? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/222468-install-mac-os-in-dell-studio-15/page/2/#findComment-1499756 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterHunterHD Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 The difference is that in the distro they took off a lot of stuff from the retail like all the voices (you know the ones that read) then bootcamp and a lot of stuff, but trust me you wont lose anything from the retail on the distro. it is just stuff that people might not need.

BenRu Posted June 28, 2010 Author Share Posted June 28, 2010 I tried to Hazard and occurs the same problem with iATKOS, when the screen goes gray boot, restart the PC. And with Kalyway remained caught in the boot also: http://chilenomac.files.wordpress.com/2009...boot_screen.jpg I do not know what to do ...

MasterHunterHD Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Did you consider buying or borrowing a copy of the retail version of Snow Leopard, but still i think it could make the same problem. I will try to find a solution to your problem. But it might take a while. I will see what I can do.

BenRu Posted June 29, 2010 Author Share Posted June 29, 2010 The problem is that the keyboard will not let me put hyphen "-", replaced with "/", so I can not put -v or -x Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/222468-install-mac-os-in-dell-studio-15/page/2/#findComment-1500664 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterHunterHD Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Which keyboard layout are you using, becareful because it uses the standard US keyboard so you have to press the key which is the third from the right (starting from the backspace) there is the - key if it makes an underscore hold shift with it.

MasterHunterHD Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Yes but do it anyway the way i told you to because the SL distro think it is a US keyboard so do like a told you and then when you are on the installer just choose the spanish keyboard layout.

MasterHunterHD Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 i have looked online for that but i could not find anything, have you ever tried to try all keys with and without holding the shift, maybe it could work (an maybe even on the numbers !)

hiddi Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 hi guys. i'm a fan of the build casing on the studio 15 and was looking to purchase a new one from dell. BenRu have you gotten ahold of a retail SL disc yet to further troubleshoot? I would want to run 10.6+ but i'm not sure of the compatibility with it. MasterHunterHD if you have the time could you take a look at the dell website and let me know what you think might be the most compatible? (as far as the video, sound, and wireless driver options might be. assuming these are the main issues i'll run into) I'm also willing to listen to suggestions on other Dell laptop models or perhaps another brand that have an affordable but quality build similar to the studio 15 that would run 10.6 fairly smooth. http://www.dell.com/us/en/home/notebooks/l...&redirect=1 many thanks in advance. my previous hackintosh experiences were with a dell mini and a 6400 which were so easy to do with a few kext edits. hopefully someones trial and errors have found a solution on the newer hardware Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/222468-install-mac-os-in-dell-studio-15/page/2/#findComment-1502577 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomorrow i will buy a 8gb pendrive and i install into it. If all goes ok, then, i will create a windows image and i change the partitions MBR to GUID and again make the partitions.

MasterHunterHD Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 @BenRu : Kalyway worked perfectly and very efficiently on a Store N GO by Verbatim And it work just by using a MBR formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) Regards, MasterHunterHD Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/222468-install-mac-os-in-dell-studio-15/page/2/#findComment-1503814 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiddi Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 hey BenRu could you maybe update me after a couple days of playing with the install. are there any issues with wifi or the graphics card? have you tried hooking it up to an external monitor by chance? many thanks!
