  1. A demonstration of my Hackintosh running on a Dell Inspiron 530Intel Core 2 Duo 2.84GB RamGeforce 7300LE PCI Express30GB SSD.
  2. Hello, my Dell is: Dell Inspiron 5558. Intel core i5-5200U. Intel HD 5500 + Nvidia 920m. Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160. Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller. Hard disc 1T I tried to install the Mac OS X Sierra with this guide here but i have a problem with the clover and with the Bootpack. Please, help me.

1. Download EmpireEFI BootCD for Core2 and burn to a CD. After that, boot up from this CD, wait for the menu screen, insert the retail Snow Leopard DVD, press F5 after 30 seconds, select that DVD and wait for the OSX installer to come up.
2. Use Disk Utility to change your hard drive partition. Create 1 GUID partition for OSX only. Create 2 or more partitions if you plan to have other OSes installed on the same hard drive. Select GUID scheme if you want to install Windows 7 together with OSX. Installation will take between 20 to 50 minutes and will finish with an error. This is expected.
3. Reboot using EmpireEFI BootCD; select your internal hdd; OSX should boot fine.
4. Download Dell Inspiron 6400 kext package and extract it to your desktop.
5. Inside 'hackintosh' directory you will find 'Extra' directory. Copy this 'Extra' directory to the root directory of your OSX hard drive.
6. Go to Application > Utilities > Terminal, and type these commands (assuming your OSX partition is disk0s2; to list your hard drive partitions enter: diskutil list)
Become root:

cd ~/Desktop/hackintosh/
8. Repair Disk Permissions using Disk Utility (Application > Utilities > Disk Utility)
9. Boot the system without the EmpireEFI CD. OSX should boot directly from the hard drive.
10. Update your OSX to 10.6.4 from Software Update or downloaded ComboUpdate file, along with other necessary updates.
Use working Snow or Lion OS X to perform the following steps:
  • Create lionUSBinstaller stick per my guide here
  • Download hackintosh_dell_1525_10.7.0_v3.6.zip package and extract it to your desktop.
  • Start Terminal (Application > Utilities > Terminal)
Become root:
sudo -s
cd Desktop/hackintosh*
Run installation script
./installer
Select lionUSBinstaller
Select 'Prepare lionUSBstick' option
Wait for the installer to finish
Use Dell Inspiron 1525 to perform the following steps:
  • Adjust BIOS setting:
Maintenance > Load Defaults > Continue
