D630 Snow Leopard installation help or guidelines
retro-pc_user replied to retro-pc_user's topic in D6xx
Thank you for the tips and tricks. I've set the BIOS accordingly. Also, for the myHack 3.1.2 software, do I need to install the Chameleon boot loader, or does the Extra folder in the bootpack for the D630 GMA X3100 have the boot loader integrated into it? -

Hello everyone. This is my first time on this site and I am requesting further assistance for installing Mac OS X Snow Leopard on my Dell Latitude D630 with an Intel Core2Duo T7100 1.8GHz, 1GB DDR2 RAM, 60GB SATA HDD, DVD-ROM CD-RW combo (had a DVD burner, but, that isn't working at the moment), Intel GMA X3100, and Broadcom ethernet and Wireless cards. I looked in the installation guides for anything related to Snow Leopard on the Dell Latitude D630 laptop. The laptop's display is a low resolution 1280x800 display, which is still in good working order. The major downside is the battery as it won't charge any longer, but, I can get a new one for $25 on eBay, the keyboard, trackpad, trackpoint, and everything else works. I was looking on this site for any further info: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/HCL_10.6.8/Portables#Latitude_D420.2C_D430.2C_D520.2C_D530.2C_D620.2C_D630.2C_D820.2C_D830, however, I'm unsuccessful to find the install guide for this laptop on this site. I'm going to buy the retail Snow Leopard version as a good measurement ($20 is a good price for the installation DVD) and in case I actually get a MacBook from 2006, I'll use the DVD to refresh it or install on an SSD. My future plan is to install a 120GB or higher SSD for the laptop to make it boot quicker. In the BIOS, I have the SATA drive set to AHCI, ambient light for automatic brightness control is disabled, and still nothing.
