2. Open the ASUS-K50IN-BootCD-v2 ISO in the burning application, insert a blank CD or DVD into the drive, and begin the burn process. When it is finished, you can eject the disc or keep it in the DVD drive if it is the same as the one you will be booting from.

3. Press Continue on the Welcome screen, then press Agree on the next screen.

9. Press the Customize button, deselect any feature(s) you do not need:
- Additional Fonts - These are only needed for specific languages with special characters.
- Language Translations - These are to translate the OS into different languages.
- Printer Support - Usually you can find an updated driver for your printer on the Internet, but this can be helpful if you use multiple printers besides your own.
- X11 - You need this if you are going to use GIMP or CrossOver.
- Rosetta - Rosetta allows you to run applications that were only designed to work on PowerPC-based Macs (pre-10.4), it's small so it won't hurt to install just in case.
- QuickTime 7 - Useful if you need to watch QuickTime movies that are encoded in older formats.
10. Press OK, then press Install. Installation can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 3 hours depending on the condition of the DVD disc, speed of the DVD drive and the amount of items you selected.
11. Installation will probably get to the end and report that it has failed (although sometimes it says it is successful, your results may vary.) Again, this is normal, just press Restart.
REMINDER:
-I will only supply you the BootCD. You need to buy the Mac OS X vanilla DVD at Apple Store or just Google it :-)
-Any Distro won't work. You need the ORIGINAL DVD (unaltered version)
-The BootCD provided is suppose to help ASUS K50IN owner to install Mac OS X on their laptop without problems. All kext(s) a.k.a Harware Driver required is already in the ISO
-Make sure you backup ALL of your files first in case of system failure
-TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK
-Mine is working fine. You might want to have a peek below to see how it is running on the laptop.
-If your installation is succeeded, maybe some parts of your system won't be working such as your WiFi etc. It is completely normal as it is not designed for clone PC. You already have your luck. Just find suitable kext(s) to ensure your system is working.
-Good Luck!
