You might try using an SD card instead of a USB stick. I believe the 15r is capable of booting from the card reader. Whether it would work or not for installing Lion, I'm not sure... but it might be worth a shot. Of course, I don't know what kind of bus the card reader is on. If it uses...

Okay... just installed the Atheros AR5B195 (DW 1702) wi-fi 802.11b/g/n + Bluetooth card that I bought from NY-COMPU-TEK on ebay for $11. Used the kexts from here: AR9285/ AR5B195 / AR9002WB PCIe wireless/half size - Downloads - OSx86.net. It got the wi-fi working, but killed bluetooth. (I...

Hmmm... yes... that could be a problem. My 14r has a dedicated USB 2.0 port and an eSATA/USB 2.0 port in addition to a couple of USB 3.0 ports. The USB 3.0 ports wouldn't work during the install. Of course, I wasn't doing the Unibeast method, either. Okay... which method are you trying to...

A just to be clear, the drive is formatted as MBR and not GUID?

I believe he's using iBoot to install SL as part of the process for installing Lion. Of course, I could be wrong... In which case... DOH!

Yes, this could very well be the problem.

Another question: Is your drive MBR or GUID? It should be MBR.

You don't have to re-download Lion. According to this: How to create an OS X Lion installation disc | MacFixIt - CNET Reviews You should be able to copy the installer to another drive so you won't have to re-download. Also, for that processor, cpus=2 busratio=25... that may help. And...

Yeah, it seems Dell laptops really don't like the internal drive to be GUID. I've just got the stock 1030-N card in there now, so wi-fi isn't working when I'm running Lion. I'm looking to get the Dell 1702 card. I can't wait to get my system optimized. I can really see the difference...

I just finished getting my Dell 14r N4110 to boot both Lion 10.7.3 and Windows 7 64-bit from the same drive. I'm still relatively new to hackintoshing, so it took me about a week, a lot of research and a few screw ups to figure it out. Hopefully, this guide - in pulling information I've...

Thanks so much for this guide! Just installed 10.7 and updated to 10.7.3 on my 14R N4110 Core i3. It did take a few nights of head scratching on some things, but finally it works! I did have an existing Windows 7 installation, but couldn't figure out how to do this with it already installed...

Thanks for this... worked for me.
