I have currently MS Vista installed on my PC, and I wanted to have Mac OS X as well, so I've tried iATKOS 5i. I have two HDD, one is with five partitions (160GB mixed with NTFS & FAT32) and Vista. Second one (80GB) is having one partition for OS X and free space for linux. I have completed the installation. After installation when I select OS X to boot, after showing few text (probably disk mount info) system is restarting thus making me unable to boot into the OS X I've installed. During disk setup I've chosen GUID for partition instead MBR. I've unchecked all the patches during installation (which was checked by default) and haven't checked any driver.

My PC Spec. is : Intel Core 2 Duo 2.8 GHz, 945GZ mainboard, 1.5GB RAM, 160+80GB SATA HDD, DVD-RW SATA, NVIDIA GeForce 7100 GS, on-board HD Audio with Realtek ALC880 codec.
