Hey guys, i recently burnt a copy of iPc os x86 10.5.6 ppf5 Universal [Final] version, ran and installed it it installed perfectly fine, at the ned of the install it had told me to restart, so i did, I would think somekind of bootloader would popup and ask me what to boot Windows vista ( what im using right now and what i have installed before osx) or boot up OS x, nothing popped up it just booted right into vista like usual.

Ive tried multiple things but thet havent worked i even tried reinstalled 2 or 3 times....

Please help me!

did you install it to a separate drive? did you choose an bootloader when you customized your install?

If your answer is yes and no, just leave your DVD in the tray and boot but do not press anything when asked if you want to boot the dvd. Boot to OSX then install Chameleon. If you installed in the same hard drive as Vista, you have more work to do.

alright so i finally got it installed what the problem was, was that i was trying to install on a Logical partion, it should have been primary, I insrtalled it succesfully but now theres a new problem....
When i start my computer i see chamelon ( it says press f8 for startup options ) after it loads it syas at the top right corner Loading Darwin, next i see the infamous grey bg with a apple logo on it, and my computer immediatly restarts, everytime i try to boot it restarts...like a never ending loop!


Helps!

i had the same issue.. i did not use any bootloader initially, then after 3 installs i realized i have to. now im using the darwin bootloader that comes with it. I get the message No Bootable device found. i tried installing iAtkos 3.0 on a different partition formatted using Mac OS X. i was running Windows 7 on another partition and had a data backup partition and now both of them also do not load up.! :( please someone help me finish what i started.
