Hi

I am running Catalina on my Dell Latitude 3400.

Now I would like to dual boot to windows 10.

Is it possible ?

The systems does not give me an option to choose the installer, it reboots to Catalina.

How do i fix the NVRAM, so that my system reboots to the installer ?

 

Thanks

Hi

I have installed Catalina on my Latitude 3400. I've used open core.

Now I want to update to BigSur. 

When I try to update using the system software update, I am caughted in a loop.

The system downloads BigSur, and starts the installation.

When it says it's going to restart it gets back to Catalina.

@Jake Lo

it is a Qualcomm QCA9377/QCA61x4A wi-fi adapter

@tanya

My Dell 3400 uses the Qualcomm QCA9377/QCA61x4A wi-fi adapter.

What about yours ?

 

Hi @tanya

I've used your Davidfrei7as EFI with airport and nothing.

No wi-fi.

@Tanya , are you using internal Latitude 3400 wi-fi card or an external one ?

Is your airdrop working ?

@Tanya

i have used with success, the EFI from @davidfrei7as.

My 3400 trackpad is working fine under Catalina

Hackintosh my Dell Latitude 3400

I quit BigSur and decided to start from zero with Catalina.

I am running BigSur on my mini MAC.

Can you please help on this task ?

As you can see the partition map is GUID and the format is Expanded(with journaling), so it must be another problem.

 

now I get this error message

 

 

the system keeps rebooting in cycle, showing this screen

i select 2 and get :

 

" OCB : load image failed - access denied "

Installation done

It did reboot to this screen :

 

As I don't want to fail, please tell me what to do next.

ok

Now I got it right

it's installing. 

Thanks

actual disk status before reformatting

 

 

 

this is ok ?

no option to select GUID

after choosing 3 i get :

" OCB : load image failed - access denied "

 

 

This is my boot menu from the USB installer disk.

Which one is my internal disk ?

I did do it, only to the USB installation disk

Now when I boot , this is what I get

 

@tanya

after the installation of BigSur, the systems reboots but does not boot into Mac OS.

i remove the usb disk and this is what I got after rebooting

 

this are my boot settings

 

@Hervé

@Jake Lo

@tanya

Tanya, can you send me a print screen of your bios boot options ?

 

When I choose to boot with open core it boots directly into the bios

 

 

 

 

 

@Jake Lo

@tanya

@Hervé

 

I finally installed Big Sur.

I have removed the USB disk.

Now when system reboots it goes to BIOS.

What do I need to do now ? Add a boot option in the Bios ?

 

@tanya

As today, what is not working, on your BigSur Latitude 3400 ?

@Jake Lo

In which system file , do I have to format my SSD drive to install BigSur from the USB disk ?

I've created the USB Disk.

Now, on my Dell Latitude 3440, I can't boot from the USB DISK. It Boots from windows even with the BIOS changes.

When I get out of the Mac OS, I have to unmount and eject the USB Disk , right ?

Success booting from USB Disk.

When selecting disk to install BigSur, I choose the notebook intern SSD disk, and it tells me " This disk is locked".

Can't go any further

I have just created a Mac OS Big Sur bootable USB

Now I'm trying to mount the EFI partition of my USB disk, but it does not appear on the OpenCore Configurator  window.
