    Hi guys,

    I have an asus g50vt x1 running windows 7. Anyways, i created a bootable usb drive with a hackintosh image and am trying to intall that. Works fine on my custom build desktop and two dell laptops (when I boot from usb, it goes to the install page and commences the install).

    On the g50 however, it does not seem to even recognize the drive. Normally, on other computers, if I tried to boot from a nonbootable flash drive it would give me an error saying that there is no boot media etc. On the g50, it keeps telling me to insert a usb drive when i change boot priority to have removable media first.

    Any help is appreciated, i tried for hours browsing the web but could not find anyone with similar issues.

    BIOS is American Megatrends Version - 210
    the drive is a 16gb ocz

    Thanks

    Currently, Apple's EULA(End User License Agreement) prohibits installing MAC OS X on any non-apple labeled hardware, and because of this, NBR does not allow discussion of OS X on PC(aka Hackintosh) for any reason.
