Unzip Image Writer to any folder on your computer. (Make sure to extract all the files in the ZIP file.) 2. Open the Image Writer program (it's called Win32DiskImager in the folder you extracted). 3. I USED THE USB drive first. Select the correct drive letter under Device, select the NBI_083F image under Image File, press Write and then Yes. The Progress indicator will help you know when it is finished now for the iDeneb ISO, i used the Leopard_hd_install_helper_v0.3.zip to load the ISO to my external HDD. with the USB drive and External HDD still attached to my eeepc 904ha, i rebooted and booted from USB drive. the gray screen appeared, with choices, win7 and iDeneb, chose iDeneb and then after a few seconds, the panic screen appeared. take note, i also flashed my bios as instructed. i tried iDeneb 10.5.5 and 10.5.6 same results. help please. thanks P.S. sorry if my post is a mess. im new to this stuff. :D i tried this but no luck. not able to boot. and also my windows 7 wouldn’t boot anymore.

When being in the OSX installer and trying to erase/format the destination volume it would throw an error when selecting MAC OSX extended.I had first to erase/format with fat only then it would offer "MAC OSX extended (journaled)" which I then used to format a second time. excellent guide.I hit only one quirk.
