Installation:

 

Turn on you target computer (It's the one with the MSI G31TM P21 Motherboard),

 

press del (short for delete) repeatably until you get to the BIOS,

Change the boot order so it boots from your myhack usb disk,

look for "HPET" int the BIOS and enable it.

save and exit,

when you get to the myhack boot (It's chameleon) type "-v USBBusFix=Yes" (without the quotes),

When you get to the language screen select your language,

Start disk utility from the utilities drop down,

Format your destination disk with Mac OS Extended (Journaled), name it whatever you want.

In options set the partition map to GIUD,

After it's done quit Disk Utility,

Install OS X; no need to change the default settings,
