How-To Install Snow Leopard in a Dell Inspiron 1525 Laptop

Of course, getting your new Inspiron to run just like mine is going to take a bit of work, including downloading the ususal files from the usual places like a certain bay of thieves or the little green monster, but once you've burned everything to a single layer DVD, you'll be up and running in under an hour! I highly suggest to any "noobs" that you don't attempt to dual boot just yet. Let's start with a full hard drive, no partitions, no "bull." 1] Start by doing some downloading on a working computer that is connected to the Internet. You're going to need a DVD burner, a fast Internet connection, and some Googling skills to find everything you need. Lucky for you, I'm going to provide all the difficult stuff to find — the drivers and hacks that are going to give your laptop the extras you need. First, download "Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.2 Kalyway" (AMD/Intel) installation DVD. It should be around 3 to 4 GB. Next, download the "Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.3 Kalyway Combo Update" which should be around 500 to 600 MB. Go ahead and burn them to separate discs using Disk Utility if you're already on a Mac, or PowerISO if you're on Windows. If you use Windows a lot, PowerISO is one of those few programs I'd actually purchase. It's that good. I suggest burning everything at 8X or slower to ensure it's 100%.

Make sure you have your copy of Snow Leopard (I would highly suggest purchasing it, it's a great price for what it offers!)Download BootSL.iso and burn it to a CD.Put the burned boot cd into your cd-drive and on startup at the "DELL" splash screen press "F12″ now you will be at the boot selection menu, from here wait till your activity light on your cd-drive stops blinking and boot from the disk.
Eject the boot-132 disk and replace it with your Snow Leopard Disk and again, wait till the activity light stops blinking. Once it's stopped press "F5″ and the Install Disk will appear. Boot the disk with the boot flags "-v -x" you do this by simply typing -v -x. If you see it at the bottom left corner then you did it right, just hit enter. The disk will take about 5-10 min to load.
