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 https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/268581-vostro-3400-with-dual-graphics-cards/ 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 https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/268581-vostro-3400-with-dual-graphics-cards/#findComment-1751447 Share on other sites More sharing options...
