Greetings all, grateful noob here.
My computer: Gateway DX4720-03
Processor: Intel Pentium E5200 (Dual-Core) @2.50GHz (MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, EM64T)
Mainboard: Gateway MS-7399
Chipset: NVIDIA GeForce 7100
Southbridge: NVIDIA nForce 630i
DVD Hardware: DVD?RW / DVD-RAM
Operating System: Windows Vista Home Premium x64-based PC
BIOS Version/date: American Megatrends Inc. A7399NG2.202, 8/6/2008 (SMBIOS Version: 2.5)
Image I'm Using: iATKOS 5i DVD: Leopard 10.5.5 Build 9F33 OSX86 installer DVD for Intel CPU X86 computers
I burned the iATKOS ISO onto a DVD.
What I did:
1. Partitioned approx. 15 GB (unallocated) space from my HD
2. Rebooted my computer with DVD-burn of iATKOS iso in the computer.
3. The option to boot from CD came up, to which I hit F8. Typing -v or enter would just auto-restart my computer, the solution to this I found was typing CPUS=1 which loaded the grey Apple screen.
4. From there, my computer gets stuck with a spinning progress circle. After a few minutes, a strike-through circle appears.
I seriously apologize that this question has probably been answered before, I used the search to look for solutions and was unable to come up with any working solutions.
I appreciate any kind of insight into what I can do.
Cheers and thank you in advance
