Does anyone know why I can't use iATKOS s3 v2? I've burned the .iso to a DVD, and when I boot with it a screen saying 'Press any key to proceed to installation, or press F8 to select startup options' or something like that.

If I press any key or F8, it completely freezes and I have to reboot my laptop in order for it to start responding again.

Does this mean my hardware isn't supported, or is there perhaps a BIOS setting I need to change? My SATA config is set to AHCI, but idk if there's anything else I need to do.

I use an Asus U36JC laptop, which has an i5-480M processor, Intel® HM55 Express Chipset. 4 GB RAM, DDR3 1066 MHz SDRAM and NVIDIA® GeForce® 310M with 1GB DDR3 VRAM.

I've also installed an SSD in this laptop. I removed the standard HDD that came with it because it was too noisy. I have a Corsair SSD Force Series™ F60, 60GB.

Thanks a lot guys, I really need some help here

This is pretty early to crash. If the bootlaoder fails, you most likely got some weirdo bios setting.

Yeah I suppose that's the issue. I just tried iATKOS v7 on a desktop I have, and the installation went smooth (except I have a bunch of driver issues).

Not sure what I can do about the BIOS settings, because they are all set on default and I have the latest firmware. Thanks for the help though, I think I'll just scrap installing OS X on my laptop
