So i have downloaded and burnt to a disc 'IDeneb v1.5 10.5.7' at a speed of 4x using nero dvd burner.i restart my pc and boot to dvd, and the install begins.
apple screen, ideneb screen,welcome screen, and then it asks me where i would like to install leopard. this is my problem, i have two 160gig hard drives in my computer, but they dont show up. nothing shows up other than the dvd. i have taken some bad pictures on a bad camera (sorry for this) to show you what i mean, if anyone could help then please do!

Try booting with the command lines of -f and -x and see if either changes this.
Judging by what I read this may have an nForce chipset in it, but I'm not for sure on that. Whatever it is, iDeneb doesn't like it too much. Give iPC a try if you can.

your problem is the missing support for you (harddisk) chipset. The Acer Aspire X3200 seems based on a Nvidia Nforce 720a chipset, doesn´t it? So you need a distro supporting you chipset. I dont know if IDeneb does this. you might search the forums for you chipset.
Or you may sart with installing on an external usb drive / stick.
