xzotick Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 I've had my Dell 10v for over a year running snow leopard... It was pretty easy to set up; I've used it a lot... I wanted to get something that could run Lion, so I purchased a used Inspiron 1525. Specs are 3gb ram, 250HD, Pentium dual core 1.66... I first tried it out with snow leopard, upgraded to 10.6.8. It was running much quicker than the 10v.. Only thing that didnt work was the wireless, but I didnt worry about that much cause I was ready to try the lion install. I followed nozyczek install guide to the letter, making the USB Lion Install disk. This guide calls for a fresh install so I wiped the snow leopard (I do have a backup) and away it went. It comes up, I partition my drive with disk utility, 1 partition GUID, it starts installing, when the installer get down to about 6 minutes the computer just turns off.. when I reboot (with the USB Lion) since it didnt complete I cant access the OSX partition, all I can do is start the install with the USB stick again.. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated... thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/268274-osx-lion-on-inspiron-1525/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
xzotick Posted September 25, 2011 Author Share Posted September 25, 2011 I managed to solve this one myself...It was one of the memory chips in the inspiron. I now have lion up and running...just have to get the wifi working....thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/268274-osx-lion-on-inspiron-1525/#findComment-1752691 Share on other sites More sharing options...
