When i use the boot 132 disk it starts to load vista so i hit the F12 key to take me to the options screen and loads alot of dots (…) , then i have the choice of if i want so load my sata hard drive or the bootable cd or sytems check, so i click on the boot 123 cd even though it called something different (something like DVD-R CDrom Drive…)
when i get to the darwin screen i hit the F18 key and then it types some stuff and when it finishes i hit the -V keys which lists my hard drives, H1, H2, Recovery or the partition i made previous to inatallation to install it onto callled Mac OSx86 Drive.

So i click on the Mac OSx86 drive that i made thats 20gb and it loads another black screen which says "Calling Chainbooter" so i waited 10 minutes but nothing happened sp i had to turn my pc off and on, so than i tried it again on the other hard drives instead but it just starts loading vista.

why is the cainbooter message appering, what do i do.what did i do wrong or do i need a different boot cd?
