Otag Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Hey i have an XPS 420 as well....I upgraded the ram, vid card and hard drive in the system. I have 10.6.8 running smooth right now...slight hiccup trying to install ML but running ok still. During the steps using tony macs method with [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]....it doesn't seem to copy the ML files to the usb drive....literally takes 30 seconds for the ###### install.
