dv9205eu HP laptop

Hie,
I tried to install OS X on a friend's lappie (HP dv9205eu). None of the followings dvd worked : Zephiroth 10.5.2 (don't know if rev1 or 2), Kalyway 10.5.2, iDeneb v1.3 (ppf patched). First ones simply don't boot with the error : "can't find com.apple.Boot.plist", and the later stopped at "still waiting for root device".
According to windows ( :s ) it has a nForce 430/410 sata chipset, but dvd player is on the 1st IDE channel.....

Dunno what to do .....


PS : i tried these dvd on my pc : the all work fine.

I know it may sound weird, anyway, here is how i solved same problem:
enter pc's bios with installation dvd inserted
quit discarding changes(press f12): you need to do so as not to let pc reboots.
OK, now you can install.

Acer Aspire 5220 MacBookPro (10.5.4)
AMD TJ43 dual core Sempron nforce 560 SATA controller
NVIDIA GeForce 7000M
