Installing and Dual boot Lion and Windows on Dell XPS L502x This guide is created with the attempt of assisting any newcomers wanting to install OS X 10.7 on there Dell L502X Sandy Bridge system. This guide is mostly done, I will be updating where clarification is needed First off this guide couldn't have been possibile without the two pioneers DoiX and Wen1 in the ( Which is currently still active with discussion for help and development). All credits go to DoiX for the DSDT, SSDT creation, Package creator and help for just about perfecting this system. Now let's begin: My System: CPU: Intel Core i7 2630QM GPU: Nvidia 525m RAM: 6GB Monitor: 1920x1080 Sound: ALC 665 WIFI: Intel Centrino Wireless-n 1030 (Replaced with DW1510. Blank tovarni transportnoj nakladnoj kazakhstan skachatj besplatno. Works perfectly out of box) What works: Native resolution via Intel HD 300 graphics Sound (with some EQ help from Boom program) Proper CPU detection Wired Network Webcam Native Power management Speedstepping for Sandy Bridge Processors Display ports (except HDMI) What Doesn't: Wifi (Install a DW1510 from amazon or ebay.

It works out of box) Nvidia Graphics (Due to BIOS lock which makes it impossible to power the card without a modified BIOS or injector Kext) USB sleep on the 3.0 ports and a couple other minor glitches Trackpad 3 and four finger gestures (Hardware limitation) Essentials: iAtkos L1 (Google it) A USB drive with MBR partition table or blank DVD Blank CD Latest RBootLE & [url='from A running MAC (if your going to try creating a bootable USB disk) CPU busratio value. You can find yours out. Mine is 20 so that is what I'll use throughout the guide (Only use if the package installer gives you problems. This pack is basically is a back up set of files. Ulver full discography torrent youtube. DSDT and smbios are outdated. However, the essential kexts will be enough to get you running.

MAC OS is definitely better. I am new to this forum, but the info and support seems great to guide me through my first hackintosh. I plan to follow this guide to install OS X El Capitain on my Dell XPS L502X. My specs are the same as the OP: i7-2670QM 8GB Ram Intel HD Graphics 3000 NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M I also have access to a Mac.

You can update afterwards) If your looking to Dual boot OSX and Windows with a data partition to keep the data synced between them: 1) Use the Windows 7 installation disk to delete any current partitions on your machine (leaving you with a blank disk) and reinstall Windows on a 40- 50GB partition depending on your needs *If you already have Windows installed you can try to shrink your drive to size needed using the disk manager. If disk manager won't let you, then its easiest to just wipe your hard drive and start fresh. If that isn't an option, using Gparted will easily get the job done but it takes a while to move your data across the disk **** A preemptive measure to make fixing a future bootloader issue easier is, after installing windows, reboot the install CD and delete the 100 MB System partition. Then repair Windows to reinstall the bootloader to the Windows 7 partition. What this does is put the bootloader on the Windows 7 drive to streamline the dual boot process and make repairing the bootloader in the future, easier. 2) Create an unformatted partition for your data (If the disk manager makes this partition a logical drive its ok.

But the Windows and OS X drives must be primary drives). We will format them to HFS+ during the installation process 3) Create an un-formatted 55GB partition for OS X at the end of the disk so that if you end up not using it, you can easily delete this and easily regain the disk space 4) Decide what formatting you want to use for the data drive. For Windows being primary: I'd format the data partition to NTFS and install Tuxera for OS X For OSX being primary: I'd format the data partition to HFS+ and install Paragon ntfs+ (Macdrive is another suitable option but I've run into issues with it) For the debate on EXFat (Supported natively on both OS's) I've found this information to help the different formats and see the of EXfat Installation Process: 1) Use an working OS X machine to restore the iAtkos DMG to the USB drive in disk utility 1a) If you find the USB method doesn't work, restore the DMG in OS X or in windows using Transmac. While this method is safer and virtually bug free, it takes significantly longer to go through the install process 2) Burn/Restore RbootLE to a CD 3) Restart your computer and boot from the USB drive (Make sure no other devices are connected, and the USB drive is connected to the USB 2.0 port which is on the right side). If you get into the iatkos boatloader, type: -v -f GraphicsEnabler=No cpus=1 busratio=20. If you get a 'Missing operating system' error go to 3a 3a) If booting from USB drive doesn't work, you can try to use the RBootLE boot loader to try and boot from the USB.
