E6420: Setting up boot options

Recommended Posts

So after a few months, I've had a chance to go back to my hackintosh. I currently have Yosemite installed, although the wifi isn't working.

 

I decided to go ahead and start over and i used JakeLo's Clover guide here:

I've got a Dell Latitude E6420 with Intel HD 3000 graphics. I went to change the settings in the BIOS as instructed, but I don't see either the Legacy Option ROM or the Secure Boot option to disable. When I boot the machine (with the usb plugged into the left usb slot) I don't launch the Clover installer, instead I get to what looks like it's not finding any recognizable devices. The hard drive currently in the computer has been wiped (I kept the Yosemite drive separate in case things didn't go well), but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

 

Any advice?

 

The machine is a Dell Latitude E6420 with Intel i5-2520M CPU @ 2.5 GH, with Intel 3000 HP graphics.

 

Thanks.

The E6420 BIOS settings & options should look very much liked those of the E6220.

You can also refer to my Chameleon/Enoch-based E6220 guide as an alternative to Jake's Clover-based guide. The process remains identical between all E6x20 models and most files are useable on all models. You only need to adapt DSDT if using a high res LCD.
