I think I tapped a key on the keyboard and clicked the mouse often enough that it didn't fall asleep? I'm still not certain but victory was obtained. At the time of the writing I'm still not certain what causes this but eventually I got the installer to finish. I try using some older graphics and power management kexts. What is going on?! I have another Mac handy so I remake the USB installer. I look back to the laptop, which I have constantly been moving the mouse on, and its frozen again!!!! At this point I'm getting pretty annoyed. Well you know what engaging random infomercials can be, and 20 minutes later I remember there's a reason I'm playing with the trackpad.

I absentmindedly play with the trackpad during the entire install so that way it doesn't try to go to sleep. Try number three, and this time I'm going to outsmart the computer. After a restarted, I try the whole process again. But no, there is no hum from the hard drive and my USB stick isn't flashing as it does when data is being transferred. 10 minutes later I come back excited to see the progress I have made on the installation and what do I find? A frozen laptop. After a few deep breaths and convincing myself I was ready for this, my operating system partition was erased and I was left with a blank canvas (my Time Machine backups are on the same drive just a different partition). Things are go so smoothly, this is going to be a piece of cake. Half an hour later, I had booted into the Mavericks installer. Simply downloaded the Mavericks update, Unibeast, Multibeast (for Post-Install), and went to work. With Mountain Lion, I had a terrible time trying to get Unibeast to create an installer that would successfully boot. After making a new Time Machine backup of my latest Mountain Lion setup for when I inevitably screwed everything up, I started on my journey into the great unknown. Being a beginner Hackintosher (my guide for Mountain Lion being the first time I tried to do something myself) I'm all about fresh starts.

#Inspiron 1525 base system device driver update
Well I got bored this weekend and decided, why not try to update the old 1525 from Mountain Lion to Mavericks. More will be added as I get more working. If you want just the straight step-by-step guide, look at the end of each section. I feel like describing my whole journey so there is a lot of my own musings in this guide.
