You can only use iBoot with the original full install OS X 10.6 disk, not an upgrade disk. You still need MultiBeast to configure your hardware. Use UniBeast for installers downloaded from Apple. Also you configure your BIOS before you use iBoot.Maybe I'm misreading. From what I've read the old Dell will only take Snow Leopard but to my knowledge no one has tried any other version. With Snow Leopard ya need iboot, put iboot in, reboot and at the prompt take iboot out, configure bios then put in the OS X disc and load.Your install disk must contain Unibeast, Multibeast and the OS X installer. Follow the guide. I installed OS X on a HP ProBook and all I had to change was the WiFi card to a Mac approved card which I found on eBay for under $10 shipped.I haven't tried Unibeast. The only reason I'll put any other OS back on that machine is if OS X doesn't work all that well.When you boot from Unibeast, and start the OS X installer, use Disk Utility to format and partition the drive. You can reinstall Linux and/or Windows afterwards.Tried from a DVD, it said either or. I had DVDs on hand so I used em......If you didn't have a USB drive, how did you try to install OS X? You were supposed to load the Mac OS X installer, Unibeast and Multibeast on the USB and boot from that to install Mac OS X on a Hackintosh.

Checked with Tonymac and they said it won't work if Linux is on the machine, the HD has to be blank or have Windows on it.
