@candykaneWell what options did you use when you installed it?

I did only boot the dvd, then I deleted the harddrive and installed the os.

@candykaneare you using USB sata pata drives?

I have a SATA and a PATA drive, I am using the PATA drive for OSX.

@candykaneif internal did you set your devices to ahci mode in the bios

I am gonna give it a try.

@candykanehow mutch ram are you using

2x1GB Samsung DDR2.

@candykanehow do you know you have to use rd-disk1s1?

I startet the installation DVD again to check.

@candykanetip you could download and install gparted as a boot manager.

I'll do that if OSX starts properly.

@baddHave you tried disabling your Sata drive, and all other drives not including the drive you plan on installing

Do I need to reinstall OSX after disabling the other drives?

Have you tried disabling your Sata drive, and all other drives not including the drive you plan on installing. You do this by going into your BIOS and changing the boot devices to none. Then make your 1st boot option your Optical Drive or USB drive, whatever you plan on installing leopard from, then your second would be your selected PATA/IDE Drive.

If you havent installed it, then you need to install it once. But you can always re-enable the drives the same way you disabled them.
