Hi guys,

First time attempting this. I've made a Lion USB install drive with Unibeast and it boots up fine but when I get to the install page, after making a partition using the instructions
here http://tonymacx86.blogspot.ca/2011/10/unibeast-install-mac-os-x-lion-using.html
I get an install page with no Continue button (Step 3, instruction line 15).

Any suggestions? The drive was previously used for Windows Vista Business but I erased it in the Disk Utility when I followed the partition instructions, and it shows up as ACHI.

Thanks!
 
No Continue button in installer - Optiplex 760 USFF - fixed

It turns out this problem was somehow related to the monitor I was using - I had the thing attached to my older 720p HDTV (DVI to HDMI cable). Using the TV as a monitor, in addition to the computer not seeing the hard drive, I kept getting an unsupported graphics error which wouldn't let me get to the BIOS settings, and so I hooked it up to an old VGA monitor and all of a sudden everything worked - I could get in the BIOS (the installer didn't like the DVD drive for some reason, so I disabled that), the installer finally saw the hard drive, Lion installed smoothly, and I can use the TV as the monitor again. It took a while for me to figure out how to get the resolution right (though it's still scaled a bit big - not sure why, and it was the same with Ubuntu but not in Windows).

I haven't gotten the sound or the App store to work yet, but hopefully that won't take too long.
