Daniel Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Your D620 have a Core 2 Duo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted November 2, 2011 Administrators Share Posted November 2, 2011 use boot pack from your machine from wiki instead for the installer then install edp after os install..... but it make sure you have core 2 duo for lion install if not your going to waste your time as it will not work on core duo cpu.

Follow the guide again, but instead of using EDP to prepare the Extra folder, download the one that matches your D620 model (GMA950 Graphics or nVidia graphics) from the link provided. EDP does not work when making Extra folders for install usb drives. Also, turn on your D620 and on the dell screen, hit F2 and go to System Info. If it says "Core Duo", don't even attempt it. If it says "Core 2 Duo", there is still hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JawhnL5 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Like said, follow the guide from scratch again. It has been re-written with a new Extra folder solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
