How-to: upgrading the SSD in your Dell Mini 9

Dell "Mac" Mini: I ordered a Dell 9" Mini for the sole reason of doing the "hackintosh" setup.

I followed the tutorials over at MyDellMini.com and was able to successfully and easily install Mac OSX 10.5 with out any problems. I used an external CD drive to boot from a CD ISO that they have available. Then used the DellEFI utility to get everything working.
I also used XSlimmer to free up some space after I installed a few apps (iLife09).

I plan on getting the larger RunCore SSD (64GB) as soon as they are back in stock, so I can setup a dual-boot with OSX and WINXP.

The Mini is one of the best Netbooks available!! IMHO.; Posted by: Tech-tock Posted on: 03/26/09 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
