I have a dell inspiron 1525. everything installed fine. I finally found the best options to make it work. I do have a few problems that I think are related to all inspiron users. I forgot exactly what I choice but one install worked fine but no dvdrw. another install worked fine found the dvdrw which is a little slow but works but when you boot up it goes black screen for a while. and sound just doesn't work but I belive there is a fix on insanelymac. if anyone has an idea of how to fix the 20 minute black screen without having to up plug and wait please share. o yea for onboard card readers is ther a way to modify it so that it can be recognized as a usb attached card reader
