[SOLVED] Failed to install MACOSX El Capitan into my Acer 8951G Laptop: Usb boot drive not recognized

[botorosa]

I am trying to install El Capitan to my laptop Acer Ethos 8951G laptop.

I did my USB boot drive accordig to the OS X El Capitan 10.11 UniBeast 6 Clover Installation Guide .

So I made the Boot USB and then I went to the Bios of my Laptop and there is not such "Optimised defaults" so I loaded the default Bios values and saved them. Then I changed the boot order with F12 to boot from the USB stick but nothing happened ... and Windows 7 starts loading up...

Iam lost because no matter which method I follow when i try to boot it do not recognize the USB boot drive and runs immediately to windows.

Help here what I need to do...

Sometimes if I'm trying a boot device and it keeps booting windows instead. I will do into the BIOS and remove the hard drive from the boot menu so only the DVD or USB drive I want to use it available. It may not fix the booting issue but might help you troubleshoot.

It is against forum rules to provide assistance with installing OS X on non-Apple hardware.

The BIOS of my Laptop is from InsydeH2O and there are only few parametres that can be changed..

It just have:
- "Information (sistem and Bios Information not editable)",
- "Main" (that haves option Quiet Menu, Network Menu, F12 Boot Menu, D2D Recovery and SATA Mode)
- "Security" (boot passwords, etc)
- "Boot" ( all devices that can be ordered to boot first (HDD0, HDD1, ATAPI CDROM, USB FDD, USB HDD, NETWORK BOOT, USB CDROM)
- "Exit" (save, default values, etc)

I can remove the HDD because its not an option... I can place it in the top or in the bottom...
