After some tinkering and following advise from you guys specially the instructions by HERVE i have managed to fix 99 percent of my issues. 1- internal nic fixed by copying the kext BCM5722D and running myfix (full) 2- Decided to delete the extra partition and just leave this machine as a pure OS laptop. so i don't need the dual boot. 3- Trackpad working with right KEXT. last issue is that I'm having a big problem with the sleep/wake. machine goes to sleep just fine but when i press power button to wake up it shuts down and resets my BIOS. To fix that: -made sure that NullCPUPowerManagement SleepEnabler and Patched_10.7_AppleRTC Kext are in the E/E folder. they are and i have run a full MYFIX to make sure they are in effect. -Followed instructions from another post and created a system password on the bios and also set it to bypass Standby/Resume. - fisically Removed the Intel Wi-fi card from the machine to avoid any conflicts (i have read numerous times it causes problems) The only thing i wasn't able to find was the Hybernatefix option in EDP. I am running EDP v5.0 - Rev: 209 (latest) my choices are 1)configuration, 2)update q)quit are there any commands i should type in terminal to run the Hybernate fix ? all help is appreciated. BTW LOSTVAMPIRE: Broadcom Wifi such as Dell DW1390/1490 are natively supported. thats what i read in another Post so you might want to try and locate one of these. ===EDIT== after finding another post on this site i typed the following commands into terminal: sudo pmset hibernatemode 0 sudo touch /var/vm/sleepimage sudo rm /var/vm/sleepimage Now the computer goes to sleep and it wakes but the mouse attached no longer works and the Internal NIC doest work either. I have to reboot the system to get them to work again. Maybe i wasn't supposed to type that.

I partitioned the Drive using Disktool while installing OSX Lion. it did format to FAT. windows 7 does see the drive, but it says unable to install to it> it wing boot please check bios settings.

I am actually replying to this post from my NEW D630 OSlatitude !! It turned out the IOATAFAMILY files was not in my USB boot up disk so i re-downloaded the BootPack and create extra as instructed. Thanks for the tip. Im happy to say my keyboard and my 1440x900 resolution works out of the box. I install the EDP and ran it and now also have sound. ( i should mention that the setting for EDP i have read 1 - 6 -1 - n - y no longer match dell 630 system) Now, from reading i know that the WiFi i have give problems so i have it disabled and have to do research to see which one to order / buy from ebay. I do have a couple of questions maybe you guys can help, 1 - My internal network card does't work. (i'm actually using my iPhone thru USB to share internet connection) 2- I partitioned my hard drive so i can have dual boot (OS and Windows) but when i try to install windows on second partition windows gives me an error saying that unable to install to that partition and to check bios settings. (Maybe there is a specific way to install it to have dual boot ? ) I need to finish installing windows so that i can see which kind of internal nic i have. 3- i find that the trackpad kind of sticks maybe I'm using wrong driver/kext 4- When computer goes to sleep, and i hit power button to try to wake her up it actually shuts down. Then i press power again and get bios message to re run setup again. i find that it has changed all my bios settings (Sata no longer ACHI and wireless nic re-enabled) weird !! as always all help is always appreciate it.

My /Extra folder doesn't have a IOATAFamily file or even a /Extensions subfolder. I will re-create the extra folder by running myhack and create Extra using downloaded Bootpack.. uff at least im getting somewhere.. .. Thanks..

I should have mention that i did followed the D630 Bios instruccions selecting ACHI for the SATA controller. Even disabled the WI-FI because i read the intel model gives problems.. I will search my USB drive for the IOATAFAMILY file and report.. Thanks..

Hello Guys, I've been reading and reading and try to do my own D630 Hackintosh but its been a failure. its frustrating cause this is the only project i have failed at, but just when i decided to give up im gonna give it a try at asking for help, so here we go. My setup is D630 with the intel graphics 1440 and the OCZ-VERTEX3 240.06 GB SSD and 4gb ram. 1- Create the Lion USB Boot up drive using my hack === DONE! 2- Download the Lion Bootpack and using my hack click on "Install Extra" and "use my own" and use the bootpack i downloaded ==== DONE! I boot up the machine using the USB dive and when the installer comes up, DISK UTILITY wont see my internal Harddrive. am i missing something ? could someone write up the procedure they did after creating usb drive with my hack ? I mean what bootpack they downloaded, how to add it correctly (some say copy on to a folder) what about the EDP ? how do i add that and how do i use it? my main concern is that i cannot see my internal drive however i used a Windows installation disk and i can see the internal drive and even formatted so i know the drive is good. I thank you guys for your patience and help.
