So after 4 hiccups (Probably due to my "noobness") I was finally able to install Mavericks using the Pre-Installation, Installation, Post-Installation procedure and I didn't have to do anything right of the bat. I encountered 2 issues (Not booting from HD, and Freezing due to the cache) But after looking around the forums I found the solution for both.
So far everything works, and its SUPER fast.
Thanks for the support Herve!

Use the process documented in EDP pages above, at top of your page. Ignore that IM tuto.
Thank You very much!
I will report back to see how it turns out.

I am new to the hackintosh scene (and adventurous willing to take risks), and finally I was able to get a hold of a Latitude D830.
I looked through the forum and found out that I have one the best D830 versions to install Mavericks in.
Here's the Specs:
15.4" Wide XGA (1280 x 800)
Dell Latitude D830
BIOS A16
Core 2 Duo 2.2Ghz
NVIDIA Quadro NVS 135M
RAM 4096MB 667MHz
120 GB HDD
Audio Controller: Sigmatel 9205
Modem Controller: Conextant HDA D330 MDC
Wi-Fi Device: Dell Wireless (The back of the Laptop says: BRCM94311MCAG)
Bluetooth Device installed
I have downloaded Mavericks through the App Store (using another mac), so this is my question,
Do I follow the tutorial that Herve posted and instead of using the ML files, I use Mavericks'
or is there another procedure prior to installing Mavericks?
I found this tutorial:
But as Herve stated, its unstable and it wouldn't be able to process the graphics properly, but that tutorial is for a D830 with Intel Graphics. Since I have NVIDIA, would that procedure work with FULL QE/CE?
I would really appreciate if someone could point me to the right direction.
Thank You in Advance!
Successfully installed Maverick on Dell Latitude D830 flawlessly...but...

So a few weeks ago, I got a hold of a Dell Latitude D830 and to my surprise,
it came to the conclusion that I possessed the best latitude to make a Hackintosh out of off.
After a few trials and errors (I'm completely new to this, and willing to take risks) got it to install Mavericks.
Eventually, the sound wasn't working but after performing the proper searches through out the site, I got the solution.
Now, after doing countless searches, perhaps I'm doing something wrong. I can't seem to find how to make the VGA port work.
I checked the compatibility list, and according to my system, the VGA Port should work.
But when I plug in an external monitor, nothing comes up in the Display menu.
Like I said, maybe I'm doing something wrong, so this is why I am now asking the following question:
Any leads or the actual answer is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Josh
