sniper9911 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 hello there thank you for giving me the oppertunity for writing this thread anyway I have this modern laptop from samsung model is 300e4a-s0esa core i5-2450m with 6gb of ram and nvidia optimus (intel 3000 + 520mx) so far I was not able to boot my freaking system via the usb flash disk and I tried at least three ways so far but only one seems to work but I don't want to use it cause I need to find the problem with my method I tried the method for the vanilla mac os x mountain lion and I did all the neccessory steps but it seems that my system does not see the bootable usb stick (I tried guid partition type but no luck strange even though my system is uefi compilant and I did set the ahci to manually enabled but I think I don't have legacy usb support) I am now trying to make it mbr and redo the hole thing I am doing this on a vmware image of lion 10.7.4 with a purchaced copy of the mac os x mountain lion app any way I hope I can really boot to the installation this way note : I selected smbios of the 9.1 mac book pro once and the other time I selected 8.3 mac book pro I ma goin to keep this post alive until I completely reach the desktop of lion ps: I really don't need to say this but the only working way for me was a tonymac with a cold boot but I ma not happy with it and it catches my systems as a mac book pro 8.1 but I am discarding this way of use if any one have an idea about laptop support files to boot my installation please tell me !!! sorry for my newbishness and thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying that in the laptop BIOS Boot menu it does not appear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sniper9911 Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 i don't have a bios menu to check for boot sequence i only did put the usb-hdd option at the top then cd then sata hdd and i do mean that bios skips the usb flash (guid partitioned) and boots directly from sata hdd i am planing on installing the ML on a 32gb usb san disk cruz blade thanks for your help i will report back soon i hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sniper9911 Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 sorry for my bad expression what I meant was that I did change the boot sequence from the bios itself not from the boot menu because I don't have one any way I managed to boot up my usb flash drive the problem was that no one told me that it has to be mbr partitioned okay but I had a panic but I don't know what it is I took a picture of it and I will attach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
