Ok, well just follow the process as documented in the EDP section of the web site. That'll get you through.

 

Indeed it has. Such a simple process, I can't believe I messed it up the first time around  :$

 

Thanks for all your help - now to push on with the e6410...

 

Cheers!  :D

The D430 runs extremely well under Snow Leopard, a tad slower under Lion. Now regarding your performance issue, I'd suggest you look into the BIOS settings. Check for SpeedStep being enabled. When you boot the installer, I'd also advise to interrupt the process and enter boot option "USBBusFix=No"; that often removes Keyboard/Mouse issues with Lion installation.

 

Not having a D430 at hand, I'd be much obliged if you would post the complete list of BIOS settings parameters so that we can advise on best/recommended settings in a similar fashion as what was done for the D620, D630 and D830.

Thanks in advance.

 

How do you interrupt the process to enter the boot option specified to make the entry (USBBusFix=No)?  I'm having the exact same problem the OP is having with intermittent mouse.  I have pretty much the exact same system specs too.
