osx86-pendriveIf you have a netbook like MSI Wind or Asus EEEPC and figuring out how to Install OSX86,Then first of all you have to create a bootable USB stick because netbooks doesn’t have Optical drives.The procedure is easy but you have to arrange a Mac or Hack {OSX86} for this guide.You need to have a USB stick 4Gb / 8GB according to size of your OSX86 Distro like iAtkos sized at 2.5 Gb so 4GB Pendrive is sufficient while iPC sized at 4.4 GB and 8GB pendrive is needed.
Many times we need to test a dual layer DVD but don’t ahve a Dual layer DVD RW in these conditions OSX86 USB Stick Installer is very precious.
  • Requirements :
  • USB stick 4GB / 8GB.
  • ISO Mac OSX86 Leopard.
  • Mac Machine.
  • OSX86 tool Download here.

1. First, we need to prepare the USB drive. Fire up Disk Utility, select the USB drive, and go to the partition tab. Select “1 partition” from the drop-down menu, name the drive whatever you wish (i.e. Mac OS X Installer), make sure the format is “Mac OS Extended (Journaled)” in the next field, and then select the “Options” button below the partition map picture. Select MBR (Master Boot Record) not Apple GUID. Select “OK” and then apply your changes. Disk Utility will create 1 partition, use MBR, etc.

2. Now, “restore” the image of the DVD installer onto the USB drive. I’m using an image file (ISO) but you can use a DVD also. The image must be listed in the left pane of Disk Utility, if it’s not there, drag the image file over. Select the USB drive, go to the “Restore” tab. It’s pretty straightforward from here. Select your image/DVD as the source, and the USB drive as the target. And away you go.

3. Run OSx86 Tools, click install EFI/Run FDISK, choose to install PC EFI 8 on your USB Flash Disk.

That’s it. Just restart and boot from USB Flash Disk, and now we can start install Leopard from USB Flash Disk.
