I'm trying to install Mac OS X on my PC, using either iATK OS 4.1, and iDeneb 1.3. I have a bootable USB which I used to install Windows from, and I know it works fine. I put the files from the Hackintosh distributions on the USB, and restarted with the USB plugged in. The computer restarts from USB but I then immediately get a black screen with the letters "BOOTMGR IS MISSING (new line) PRESS CTRL+ALT+DELETE TO RESTART). My computer CAN start up and boot into Windows without this error. So, how can I fix this? (M y USB is formatted in NTFS if that matters).

My specs:
HP ProBook 4710s
4 GB RAM
2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T5870
Western Digital 320GB Scorpio Blue S-ATA Hard drive
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4300 series 512MB memory

Windows 7 Home Premium x64
Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard x64 (Dual-boot, want to triple boot)

Thx for your help!

You can't just copy the files over, your USB boot sector is pointing to a Windows boot manager, which doesn't exist since you are trying to boot a Mac OS installer, duh. You normally would need a machine already running Mac OS X in order to properly create a bootable USB installer:

Seriously though, if you have a DVD drive just burn the image to a DVD and boot from there, much easier.
