Administrators Hervé Posted December 29, 2015 Administrators Share Posted December 29, 2015 Look no further if you don't have an Extra folder at the root of a myHack installer/build. It means you've not followed the regular process and your build is not finished, hence highly unlikely to work. How do you make your USB installer and how do you install SL on that D520?

Administrators Hervé Posted December 29, 2015 Administrators Share Posted December 29, 2015 If all you have at hand is your D520 under Leopard 10.5.8, here's what you can do: Insert your Snow Leopard retail DVD (if you have a DMG image of retail SL, that'll work too) and open up Disk Utility. Format your USB key as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Keep it MBR partitioned, though it should work too if GPT partitioned. Restore tab your your retail SL DVD (or SL DMG image) to your USB key and make sure to erase the key in the process. Download a known working Chameleon version such as r2401 from InsanelyMac and install it on your USB key Copy the D430 SL pack or D620 GMA950 SL pack to the root of your USB key (you should see it as Extra folder) Now try and boot your USB key using the -f -v bootflags to install SL on your target system's HDD. If you reach the OS X installer main screen, make sure to run Disk Utility from Tool menu and format your target disk as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" on a GUID Partition Table. Proceed with installation. When it reaches completion, run Terminal from Tool menu before countdown expires and use the following commands to copy the Extra folder to your target HDD df -> to identify target partition name, should be something like /Volumes/<SL disk partition name> cp -Rf /Extra /Volumes/<SL disk partition name> -> to copy Extra folder from USB key to target system's disk Then try and reboot your installed SL partition via the USB key. It does not matter if that SL installation is not fully complete; it should allow you to create a myHack USB installer, from which you'll get to fully working SL-based Latitude D Series Hackintosh.
