When I take out my USBdrive to boot normally it gives me this error message:

Verifying DMI Pool Data

The underscoure after the 'J' is blinking but I can't type anything. Neither can I press 'enter' or any other button.

Could anyone help me getting my hackintosh booting without the use of my USBpendrive?

Sound like you have not ran the myhack install after you installed Snow Leopard. Try reinstalling the myHack again. so boot into your snow leopard and run myHack install. The myHack will install the boot loader you need to not need the USB key everytime you want to run Snow Leopard.

If you dont' mind, can you please direct me place where I can find some solution. I have VGN-BZ560 laptop. Google it a lot and couldn't find anybody who had success install Snow Leopard.

Again, when I tried to install SL from USB, it doesn't see my laptop internal HD and after installing into different partition from USB, i cannot boot from it. I get error message as:

error0:test
error0:test
error0: failed.

Please help me to right place or solution that might work for my laptop. Really appreciate for your help and valuable time.

This thread is for the G31M motherboard, not for a laptop.. you'll get better answers if you post your question in a more appropriate location.

Thanks for the reaction, I've already tried to install MyHack again but it won't work.

see post #402: http://www.infinitemac.com/f57/guide...post41881.html

I can try to answer other questions, but as I said there.. this was my 1st OC, so I was just re-using instructions someone else gave me.. but it did seem to work.

EDIT: and has been running stable ever since, tho its in sleep 95% of the day.

My Problem solved.

I've installed a early version of chameleon boot loader. After that I've done a reboot with the USBdrive. Then again install de MyHack on you MacOSX Harddrive and it's done!

Installed the Bonjour update 2010-001, Security Update, Remote Desktop update, and Xcode update.

So far so good. Rebooted just fine. Internet still works.

I have a G41M-ESL2. I've been trying for awhile to get it to boot into SL. I completed the entire process of restoring my SL Retail Disk to my 8GB USB stick and ran the routines, edited the plist file, etc. I put the thumbstick in my gigabyte machine but the BIOS only has a USB HD option. Since the thumbstick is sort of one of those, I tried it. It did not boot from it. I then burned the 8gig thumbstick to an 8G DVD, thinking that might be a good way to get it to boot: no luck (does not boot computer). I compared the two (disk and thumbdrive) and they look the same to me in my Wind PC Hackintosh... any suggestoins? Thanks.

Not trying to be a @$$ but...

a) buy a g31M
b) find (or start) a thread about G41M

I mean really.. when I bought I was looking at the G41M, its a nice card... but.... I stuck with the G31 specifically for this reason.

I followed a thread on Insanely Mac that indicated that this process works perfectly also for the G4 model. Maybe not. Thanks anyway.

fir the G3 board, press f12 @ boot then select HD and there USB flash drive is in there, you could try this!
