I have a FoxConn C51 motherboard based on the Nforce 590 chipset. Now, when i install this software I cant control the mouse and keyboard as all my USB's shut off the second this program trying to boot from the DVD. I have tried using a PS2 mouse and keyboard but these do not funtion unless I turn off the USB's on my BIOS setting. This has always been the baine of my life when it comes to installing OSX on my PC.

I know someone here has tried installing this software using a different motherboard which is based on the NForce 590 and he did not have any problems so I am not sure what is going on?

Can anyone tell me or offer some advise?

Same issue here, I'm using pretty much the exact same motherboard - BFG Tech am2 590 sli - which is the spitting image of the nvidia reference model, same as the foxconn. I haven't been able to find a fix for this issue yet.
