Hi,
I own a USB Thumb drive with MacOSX Lion.
I own a GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3, the BIOS hardrive is ACHI mode and not IDE.
I insert my USB Thumb drive and reboot the pc, I have tried with all USB bootable options but it does not boot. Do I need Unibeast to boot USB Thumb drive?
How can I boot USB Thumb drive if I havent a MacOSX to run UniBeast and make a bootable MacOSX USB?

Thanks

I booted the rBoot CD. There are 3 options: 1. rBoot, 2. and 3. My Windows partitions.
The option "1. rBoot" gives me an error.
The "USB Thumb drive" option does not appear to boot.
Help about how to boot a USB Thumb drive on my computer?

Try to explain the situation:
You have Mac OS X in the USB Thum drive or not?
If not, you have to use Unibeast or xMove..but you need an installed OS X
 
Yes, I have the USB Thumb drive. I got it yesterday. I bought it from apple store 3 days ago.
But I cant boot it.

You can't boot the usb from the apple store. You need to use Unibeast or xMove and a OS X already installed..
When you have found and OS X, you have to follow this guide:

You need a mac os environment inorder to use the Lion thumb to create Unibeast.

You cannot boot the thumb drive alone w/out Unibeast.

If you cannot get access to a mac you will have to go the iBoot + MB route.
