Download rBoot and burn to CD. Move MB SSD to PC-Mac. Boot PC-Mac with rBoot, select SSD icon at Chimera screen. At desktop run MultiBeast to install kexts, etc. needed for your PC-Mac to run. Enjoy.

Oh, and BTW, backup the SSD before you start.
 
thanks! u saved me a lot of time and usless work
 
and what about the update to Mountain Lion ? Buy -> download -> run update -> reboot rBoot -> continue to instal ML -> run MultiBeast ? right? or it is more complicated (in this case i will search a tutorial) thanks in advise.

another question about your last reply: to put back the the drive in the MB i can run
MultiBeast to uninstall all kexts and so on or I better go formatting and than restore from Time machine?

Wish it was so easy, but no, you still have to create the UniBeast installer for Mountain Lion. I tried to just run the app on my system and install ML over Lion - didn't work. Couldn't even get it to try to install on a clean partition.

No way to run MultiBeast to UNinstall anything. Installs only. OTOH, if you know exactly what you selected in MB and exactly what it installed, you can delete files by hand from S/L/E and delete the /Extra folder.
