Darvinko Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Again, if you can fill in some of the blanks, we can be of more help. What processor have you got, and which graphics do you have, HD3000 or HD4000? You likely have an Intel Wi-Fi card, so yes, it will need to be replaced. Look at the link in post #10 and go to section 2b, it gives you instructions for booting your Windows install from AHCI mode, eliminating the need to switch each time you boot a different OS. Try booting into myHack (it will be in your Applications folder now) and choose to run myFix (the Full version) to see if that helps the graphics. Also update Chameleon (easy was is to install Chameleon Wizard). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windows 7 sp1 64bit can be install on GUID partition 2. Like my E6230, BIOS A12 causes artifacts. Downgrade to A11 as in Darvinko's guide. 3. You can get a DW1510 for less than $20 in Ebay.

Darvinko Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 If you are currently unable to reinstall Windows, it will be easier to follow the guide I mentioned. After you are able to download/borrow Windows you can install both OS's on one drive using your current key. Boot into Windows and at the Dell splash screen, it will indicate your current BIOS version along the bottom of the screen. If you need to downgrade the BIOS you can from Dell's website.
