There is not need to install rEFIt on your mac. In fact installing rEFIt may make it impossible to upgrade the Mac OS to a newer version later on (personal experience, I had to do a clean install). Put the rEFIt CD in and hold the option key after turning the computer on. The Mac will recognize the CD because it uses EFI and then the CD will recognize the bootable USB.</br><br>
