Dell Latitude D630 Hackint0sh 10.5.2

 

For all the techs in training out there, when I heard that I can run OS X on a PC I said, “Challenge accepted!” 🙂

 

The first Hackint0sh I was able to successfully function as a Hackintosh was a Dell Latitude D630 using the Kalyway 10.5.2 DVD.

 

Dell Latitude D630

• Original OS: Windows XP
• CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo T7100 / 1.8 GHz
• Chipset: PM965
  • ICH8-ME
• Memory: 1.0 GB
• Video: G 86M
  • Quadro NVS13SM
  • NVIDIA
• Ethernet: BCMS7SSM
  • Gigabit Ethernet PCI
• Wireless: BCM4312
  • 802.11g
• BIOS Revision A17
• SATA: AHCI

 

Boot with Kalyway_10.5.2_DVD_Intel_Amd

• Restart your computer and hold down the F2 key to enter BIOS settings.
• Change your BIOS settings to comply with Apple standards.
• Restart your computer holding the F12 key and boot from CD.
• When prompted, hit the F8 key to enter startup options and type in –v noapic cpus=2 and hit enter.
• The length of time generally depends on your system configuration and how much RAM you have. The more RAM the better 😀
  

 

These should help:

Apple Load Screen

 

Choose your Language (I chose English for the install)

 

Load Screen

 

Install Welcome Screen (This is where things get just a bit tricky)

• The break-dancer image was added by Kalyway and if you click on more options, you can learn more.
• FORMAT YOUR HARD DRIVE
  • Click on Utilities at the top of the screen in the menu bar
  • Go to Disk Utilities
  • Choose the main hard drive
  • Click the Erase tab

  

  • Click on the volume format drop down menu and choose OS Extended Journaled
  • Name the partition whatever you like, I called mine haxint0sh just for the hell of it

  

  • DON’T FORGET to click on the options button and chose GUID Partition then go for it

  

• Once partitioned, exit out by clicking the red X button and it should take you back to installation screen
• Choose “Continue” and you will be shown the Agreement page
  • Agree
• You will be shown the available options for drives to install on, you should see the one you just partitioned.

• If you don’t see one, it’s ok, you can go back to the Disk Utility and reconfigure

After you click continue and go to the Summary page WAIT!!!

• You MUST CUSTOMIZE!! If you don’t the install will not properly function
• Click on the Customize button and make the choices you require based on your specific hardware.
  • If the first install doesn’t work, you probably need to go back and modify the customization options

• Click Done and then Install

• Voila!! The installer will primarily check your disk, you can skip the process but I recommend you let it do its thing. Once inspected, the disk won’t need to be inspected again for additional installs.

• Once you see a screen with a green checkmark, you did it!! OS X has been installed on your computer.
• You’ll see a fancy video saying welcome in several languages

and then be prompted to set up the basics.

• Follow all the prompts
• Add your info if you prefer

• CONGRATS! You are now running OS X on your PC!!

 

ENJOY YOUR HACKINTOSH 🙂
