I'd imagine that dual boot would be a matter of partioning the hard drive appropriately. I don't mess with a flash drive; I've been booting the iDeneb DVD directly off the ASUS USB DVD drive and it works fine that way. I've tried installing to the internal hard disk and to a USB hard disk and while the install goes flawlessly, the machine hangs on reboot.

I too bought this machine specifically to hackintosh; if it's incapable of it then I'll just ebay it and get an MSI wind.
