Download: SnowBoot v1.1.iso Step 1: Make sure you have your copy of Snow Leopard (I would highly suggest purchasing it, its a great price for what it offers!) Step 2: Download SnowBoot v1.1.iso and burn it to a CD. Step 3: 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 disc. Step 4: Eject the boot-132 disk and replace it with your Snow Leopard Disc and again, wait till the activity light stops blinking. Once it has stopped press F5 and the Install Disk will appear. Boot the disc by pressing enter. The disc will take about 5-10 min to load. Step 5: Once in the install disk go to Tools from the menu bar and choose Disk Utility. Once youve gotten into the Disk Utility you have to select your hard drive and click on the partition tab and under the Volume Scheme choose 1 Partition and click Options and choose GPT. From this tab choose Mac OS

Extended (Journaled) and name it Macintosh HD and click apply. Step 6: Close Disk Utility and go through the Installer. After it is done restart and again press F12 and boot from the Boot-132 disc, this time select the Macintosh HD partition and again boot by pressing enter. Step 7: Download Mac OS X 10.6.6 by clicking the following link and proceed to install it. Mac OS X v10.6.6 Update. Once youve done that you an restart and boot into the partition again following the same method used above. Boot into the partition using the same method that you did in Step 6. Step 8: Now that youve booted into your partition open My Boot CD from the desktop. Navigate to the Post-Intall folder located in My Boot CD/Extra/Post-Install and double-click Chameleon 2 RC3 After this go back to the Post-Install folder and highlight Extra and copy the folder.. After you have copied Extra from the Post-Install folder open up your Macintosh HD and paste Extra by right-clicking and pressing Paste Item. Step 9: Now Open up the Applications folder from the Post-Install folder and open Kext Helper now go to Local Extensions and Kext Helper all the files in there. (For more information on how to use Kext Helper click here.) Step 10: Navigate back to the Post-Install folder and doubleclick the 10.6.2 AppleHDA Installer and follow the prompt. Step 11: Go to System Preferences click Security then click the little lock in the bottom corner. Now uncheck Use secure

virtual memory. Step 12: Open up Terminal Located in Applications/Utilities and run the following commands one by one: sudo -s pmset -a hibernatemode 0 rm /private/var/vm/sleepimage mkdir /BackupPreferencePanes cp -R /System/Library/PreferencePanes/Trackpad.prefPane /BackupPreferencePanes rm -rf /System/Library/PreferencePanes/Trackpad.prefPane cp -R /Volumes/My\ Boot\ CD/Extra/PostInstall/PrefPane/Trackpad.prefPane /System/Library/PreferencePanes/ Step 13: Restart and at this point you should be all done and updated to Snow Leopard 10.6.6.
