Darrious Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I'm having troubles trying to use Windows 7 and creating a bootable USB of Lion. I've tried to use [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] to see the USB and it won't. I'm not sure the proper tools/way to partition my 8g flash drive in order to put Chameleon on it... All the ways people have shown how to boot Lion from a USB has been simply using the Disk Utility in OSX... Is there any other way I could go about doing this using just Windows... The main problem is for people like me who do not have a Mac or a Hackintosh... Any suggestions on what to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iMad4Mac Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I suggest that you install os x quickly, just make it bootable with no other extra fancy stuff, and go to disk utility to do the required hdd format/partitioning. Current installation methods are written for ppl who already have osx up and running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
