Just a few tips for noobs like me:
In step 2 to check whether your format has "an mbr partition map" Go to: disk utility, partition tab, select the number of partitions that you want, and under options you can set 'master boot record (set by default).
In step 3 make you sure you select the os you want to install AND click laptop support. In my case it was mountain lion.
Sounds like you're using the Lion guide in order to install Mountain Lion. You might want to visit the ML forum here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/hp-probook/
In step 14, IF you're installing a dual-boot, Click chameleon otherwise you may get the same thing that happened to me: It wouldn't show the boot menu and kept going straight into windows.
Yes, you must install a bootloader as described in the guide.
