jasontan Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Hi. I have inherited an iMac with Lion 10.7.5 installed. I plan to install the OSX onto my Dell Latitude E5520. I want to create the USB installer with MyHack but it needs the Lion.app or InstallESD.dmg. I do not have both as the Mac came pre-installed. I have downloaded Maverick but have yet to upgrade the Mac to this. Where can I download the installer for Lion? Or should I upgrade to Maverick and then try to install on my Dell using Maverick? I am a complete newbie to Hackintosh, so all advice are appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted January 28, 2014 Administrators Share Posted January 28, 2014 you can go either way depending on the model. if you want to use lion, clone your iMac to a disk. install my hack utility to it. use my hack to install your extra folder too it. install chameleon and you should be set. for mavericks you can point my hack to the installer app which should be in the applications folder and make your boot usb following the instructions.

What do you mean by clone iMac to a disk? Do you mean an external HDD? Which is more stable/reliable to create a hackintosh on the Dell Latitude E5520? Lion or Mavericks?

Administrators Bronxteck Posted January 28, 2014 Administrators Share Posted January 28, 2014 yes as in using external media that has enough room to copy your partition. I'm not sure about which os is better for the e5220 but check out the site and maybe you can find your answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasontan Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 Since I am using installing everything on a laptop, I do not have that much flexibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
