Post 3: Before Installation

-

- BIOS settings:
- Set your BIOS to its default settings.
- Execute Disable bit: Enabled
- XD (if exists): Enabled
- Limit CPUID Max: Disabled
- Set all cores of the CPU active/enabled.
- Virtualization (if exists): Enabled or Disabled, try it.
- Hyper-threading: Enabled or Disabled, try it.
- HPET (High Precision Event Timer/PCH): Enabled
- SATA Mode: AHCI
- Set all the Overclock/Performance/Turbo etc. values to Auto.
- Set the UEFI mode settings (if exists) to compatible mode

Boot Device - If you're using an ML2 USB drive, change the boot device of your
computer so that "USB-HDD" is first. If you're using an ML2 DVD, change
"CDROM" to first. You need to do this for ML2 to boot. After you finish installing
Mac OS X, you should change this setting back to default, so that "Hard Disk" is
the first boot device (this optional, but it will speed up your boot times)

HPET - Change this to 64-bit

SATA Control Mode (your BIOS might call this a different name) - This will
probably already be set to "SATA", "IDE", or "RAID". Change it to "AHCI". Mac OS
X only works with AHCI
Keep in mind that the BIOS on most motherboards do not support using a mouse,
so you'll probably have to navigate through the BIOS with the arrow keys on your
keyboard. Press "Enter" to change a selected option in the BIOS

Plug in your ML2 usb drive in usb 2.0 port of your system(usb 3.0 don't always work) OR Insert your ML2 DVD media in DVD Drive. Restart Your System.If all goes well, your system will boot into ML2  instead of booting from normal hard drive. You will then be able to watch the Mac OS X menu. If you do not manage to reach the Mac OS X menu, check your motherboard's BIOS settings to make sure that the changes you made in  were properly applied. If they were, but you still cannot boot from ML2, go back to post on  (Creating bootable media if using  Mac or Windows)  and try again with a different USB drive or dual layer DVD. At the Mac OS X menu, select the name of your ML2 USB drive/DVD, by using the left/right arrow keys on your keyboard, and then press the enter key (or return key) to start the OS X Mountain Lion installer. In the worst case scenarios, instead of loading the Mac OS X installer, you may end up at a dark gray screen that tells you to rest...
