I'm trying to install Kalyway 10.5.2 on my AMD PC becuase i'm desperate to run final cut studio. My PC spec is as follows:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Processor 6000+ (3.02GHz)
4GB RAM OCZ
MSI K9A Platinum Mainboard (ATI Crossfire Chipset)
ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT Graphics Card 512MB (Crossfire)
2 x Western Digital 500GB SATA HDD
Realtek High Definition Audio
Pioneer 112 DVDR/RW (IDE)

I've set my BIOS SATA settings to AHCI, i've created a 25GB FAT32 partition, i'm booting from the dvd, starting the install, selecting the partition, installation starts but then ERRORS with contact your software manafacturer error. I've read the wikis, i've spent loads of time playing around. I did have a xp32 and vista64 dual boot, but i've deleted the vista64 install now and i'm running xp32 only.

I appeal to your kind nature in assisting me becuase I need final cut studio for my studies, big time. I can't afford a mac but my pc is pretty powerful, so if I can get Mac OSX and final cut studio working, I might just pass my degree!

I subsequently think I need LawlessPPC install, which i'm trying to find.. Is that right? i'm new to all of this..
