Hello, I have a little tiny problem with booting iATKOS 5i. I put the disc in then reboot and it asks me to click any key but after i press a key it loads a while then my computer reboots again and the process starts all over again. Does anybody know wwhats wrong? I checked the DVD and verified it so im pretty sure its not the dvd.:'(

The thing is for you to tell us what is shown as the last message, before the reboot.

Hi ,
I am too getting the same msg as in
I downloaded iatkos v1.0i ... mounted using daemon tools, magiciso, ultraiso.
It only shows 542 kb checked md5 for errors its perfect no errprs or corrupt.
When popped drive it keeps rebooting saying darwin x86 starting and 3 more sentences and apple gray logo and that's all

Its normal that ISOs show up as very small, because they contain a small ISO/Joliet filesystem (the bootloader) and a big HFS filesystem (the installer), and most windows utils wont see the HFS part.
Also, what it says while loading in -v its important, knowing that it reboots "after 3 sentences" wont be helpful to anybody to find out whats going wrong...
