Installing off USB flash or external HD is very easy.

You need only a real mac or a hackintosh running tiger or leopard

step 1: Mount the MSIWindOSX.iso (double click on it)

step 2: plug in the usb drive or flash drive so it mounts

step 3: Go into Disk utility - click Restore

step 4: drag the mounted iso volume to the ' SOURCE ' section

step 5: drag the usb drive or flash drive to the ' Destination ' section

step 6: check ' erase destination ' click ok

Restore to USB will take about 10 minutes or so.. go get a coffee.. check your email, update your facebook status - what have you


step 7: Download Chameleon 1.0.6 [needed to make the USB drive bootable]

step 8: Double click the chameleon dmg to mount it, run through its prompts and install it to your flash / usb key - this makes it bootable.

step 9: Plug Flash / USB key into msi wind, boot from it (either change in bios or hit f11 for boot menu) - install as normal.

Thats all.
