[How To] Dell Inspiron17 3721 - Fully Working
LMCICIOSR replied to hibernian56's topic in The Archive
After 18 minutes into the install this is what I get.. I'm learning and I'm also very confused.. I have followed hibernian56's guide to the T and it keeps failing.. Did I miss something, I'm not sure how you others have had success and it keeps dropping out for me.. HELP!!! 1. Get a friend with a working Mac or Hackintosh 2. Create a standard OSX installation USB key or USB hard drive using the many guides available... 3. Very Important: Copy the GenericUSBXHCI.kext file to /Extra/Extension folder on the USB installation Drive, otherwise you will get a number of different cryptic errors, most notably "still waiting for root device" 4. Make a folder called ++Tools on the USB installation drive 5. Copy all of the attached files into this folder. This will save a lot of pain later Step 3 I'm confused about I have the ++Tools folder on my USB drive with the installer. and the /Extra/Extension folder that is inside the ++Tools already has the file GenericUSBXHCI.kext in it. I'm new to the MAC world I own a MAC mini that I purchased about 3 months ago and I love MAC, hate windows with a passion but I have 2 other computers that are windows based. -

I'm doing a complete format only trying to install Mavericks by its self. Last night I was able to get about 15 mins into the install before it failed. I have followed every ounce of direction I can find in order to create this Hackintosh. I used that master boot record instead of the Guide when formatting the hard drive on the computer? My feelings on it are if I never have to see windows again I wouldn't drop one tear. The only boot USB I've been able to make that works is uni beast so thats what I used to make a boot disk. I'm not sure what information I'm leaving out I've never done this before and I'd call myself a learner of the hackintosh trade. -

Hello all, I have a Dell Inspiron 17 3721 and I have been pulling my hair out trying to get OS X Mavericks to install. I've had luck getting to the install screen using unifail but after about 5 minutes of install the installer fails and I'm not sure why.. Any insight to what I'm doing wrong would be great. Thanks Jimmy
