tamerg101 · **Help with botched Mac OS install -** 06-16-2010, 06:01 AM

Hi

I have attempted the install as documented here
How To: Hackintosh a Dell Mini 10v Into the Ultimate Snow Leopard Netbook

I was able to install mac os up to a point - the doc is there but key features are not installed

1) The utilities folder was not installed so I have no airport facility
2) I can only boot my mini book off the usb drive
3) I am unable to change the system clock (its 1hr ahead)

I am not the most technical person so would welcome any help

on the top right of the screen there should be a magnifying glass, click it, in spotlight type in extra, click that when it opens click on update extensions, restart if that doesnt work, something went your install and you try instaliing again but im pretty sure its just your extensions, happend to me the first time i installed osx

hi - thanks for the reply - I did try to search the update extensions and they didn't materialise - to reinstall the OS do I reformat the HD and then do the install again?
