hi,i am new to the mac world and i have a AMD Machine where i want to install mac to but i can't. I downloaded Zephyroth Leopard 10.5.2 for AMD since so many people are talking about it. The only reason i want to have mac is because i want to have the new Final Cut Studio 2. So please can u tell me what I'm doing wrong or telling me another version i can run on my computer.

You need to read some posts in this forum
but to get you started boot up with -v and post from there.
I would guess that you might have a graphics card problem so you could try boot with -x

hey lanxxx,
what if i do this:
1 - Boot with the DVD.
2 - Press F8, then type "-s"
3- type "cd /usr/standalone/i386"
4 - type "dd if=./guid/boot1h of=/dev/rdiskXsY bs=512 count=1 (X is the disk number and Y is the partition number on which you installed Leo)
5 - type "dd if=./guid/boot0 of=/dev/diskX bs=400 count=1
6 - type "./startupfiletool -v /dev/diskXsY ./boot_v8"

GUID bootloader must be now installed correctly. Will that help and if it can, can you please tell me where i type from #3-#6

[Ianxxx]

I don't know what you mean by by where you type from, if you boot -s you will have a command prompt if thats what you mean.
You can try this but all you are doing is installing the bootloader, this only applies if you have successfully installed the dvd!
Read around this forum.
