hey guys,

im using the latest release of iPC (10.5.6 i believe).

i have vista already installed on my system. i partitioned my harddrive correctly (40gb going to mac).

to get the installer to run i have to turn of ahcp support, and use cpus=1 flag.

it all installed flawlessly, ive tried both with all the drivers i need, and once without any drivers. when the install is complete, it came up with disk0:fail (or somthing on those lines). so i booted back into the cd and used the terminal window to put the leopard partition as active (flagged it basically)

i restarted the computer and i get disk0:mbr disk0:done and thats as far as i got.


i have since then made vista active again and removed the partition, but i dont want to give up on installing mac.

can anyone help me?

spec:
Advent 6555 (MSI 1722)
ATI Radeon HD4850 W/512MB DDR3 -
Intel Core 2 Quad 9000 @ 2GHz L2 6MB 1066MHz FSB -
4GB DDR2-6400 RAM @ 800 MHz -
250GB 5400RPM SATA -
Windows Vista 32bit Home Premium

Does it make any difference if you`re using 32bit or 64bit Vista to install along with Leo ? I think not, give it a try ;)
