Step 1 – Creating a Mac OS X USB stick

1. Download Mac OS X from the Mac App Store.

2. Start the Kakewalk application supplied with the zip archive you downloaded from here.

–Be sure that you do not have your DMG mounted!  This will block the install.

3. Next, click Install to USB

4. Select your motherboard

5. Click Browse and locate the Lion application (this can also be a DMG image file)

6. Make sure you select the correct disk for installation.

This will install Lion onto your USB stick. It’s a lengthy install process and will take about 20-30 minutes.

Step 2 – Setting up BIOS

–You should probably reset your BIOS to Optimized Defaults.

Overlocking will not work with the installer.

3. Change the Hard Disk Boot Priority to your USB stick as primary (Number 1)

and set the harddrive you’re going to install to as secondary (Number 2)
eg. 1. USB-HDD0: SanDisk 16GB
2. SCSI-0: WD 500GB

4. Go back (ESC), go to Integrated peripherals

5. IMPORTANT: Set “SATA RAID/AHCI Mode” to “AHCI”

6. Go back (ESC), go to Power Management

7. Set the ACPI Suspend Type to S3(STR)

8. Set HPET Mode to 64-bit mode

9. Save and Exit, by pressing F10

Step 3 – Installing Mac OS X

–If your USB device isn’t booting, just hit F12 when booting to select your boot device.

1. Once the Mac OS X installer is up and running click Utilities and then Disk Utility

2. In the left hand pane select the harddrive you wish to install to

3. Click Partition then select 1 Partition then click Options and check GUID PartitionTable hit OK

4. Finally enter a name for your partition (eg. Mac) and Apply (Leave the formatdrop-down to its default value)

6. Now go on with the installation and select your partition (eg. Mac) and install.

7. When the installer has finished restart your computer.

Step 4 – Running Kakewalk
