5. @iClarified Hey man nice vid. But i was wondering, can I install Lion on a Leopard MBP with opening the Lion file on the usb-stick, so i don’t have to buy snow leopard?

   Plz answer, i would really appreciate it

6. @BoStaThij Yes you can. You will have to reformat your machine though.

7. Im wondering is it possible to download mac osx lion put it on a flash drive and boot it on a dell netbook? without using a mac

8. @jonesboyy93 yes but u need Iboot

9. @Megapead Alright thanks and can i do all this without using the MacOsx Lion retail disc? but the retail Download?

10. @jonesboyy93 yes it can be in a retail download (Hell thats what i am doing) but make sure it’s an iso unless ur running OSX running via hardware virtulizetion u can use a .dmg but the size is about 7.15gb for a true retail and u need a dual layer dvd to burn it. Unless u have a bit of knowlage on how to use the disk utillitys in OSX to burn it to a usb in a hardware virtulizetion tool. Good luck with ur Hackintosh. Message me if u have any problems.

11. I have an iMac with no OS and won’t boot from my DVD drive for some reason. I also have a Mac OS X 10.4 retail install DVD. All of my other computers are Windows based. Is there a way to make a bootable flashdrive for my iMac from Windows (XP, Vista, or 7 preferably)?

12. can i like install this on a pc???????

13. my flash drive wont partition. it just sits there saying “creating partition map” what should i do? i followed all steps exactly.

14. I ended up taking it to the mac store and they loaded up an OS for free. Thanks though. 🙂
