ASUS X550LC Guide( Works for most ASUS laptops)

Unfortunately not. It doesent show my HDD in BIOS as available boot device

Well, you're going to want to solve that problem first...

You might be better off trying Clover. Use the ProBook guide for clues: http://www.tonymacx86.com/hp-probook-mavericks/112383-guide-install-mavericks-clover-bootloader.html

I have installed Clover now to EFI partition. Im just having hard time editing the DSDT file as I have no idea what to do exactly.

What problem are you trying to fix with DSDT?

I have the same pc with tuubazz. I need to remove all nvidia kexts from the extensions?

Assuming you have Intel+Nvidia graphics... You can use nv_disable=1 instead of removing the kexts.

Please provide complete details in your profile/signature
(Profile/Settings link in upper right corner of this site)

System: manufacturer/model
CPU: detailed CPU model + motherboard chipset
Graphics: all graphics devices + laptop internal screen resolution

For example, typical Ivy laptop:
System: HP ProBook 4540s
CPU: i5-3320m/HM76
Graphics: HD4000, 1366x768

Use CPU-Z on Windows to find CPU (Core iX-xxx) and motherboard chipset (HMxx), and graphics capabilities. For a laptop, these details are important and affect critical installation procedures.

The discrete graphics capability in a switched dual-GPU configuration is not supported with OS X on hacks. Best you can do is disable the discrete part with SSDT/DSDT patches.

Ok, can you suggest me a guide about how apply a SSDT/DSDT patch?.

Thanks you, RehabMan.

There is a ton of examples in the the Laptop Support forum if you use search.

Basic idea:
- extract all native DSDT/SSDTs
- find SSDT that contains _OFF for your discrete card
- edit the SSDT call _OFF from _INI
- on older computers the "off" method can sometimes be found in DSDT
