I was recently trying to install Mac OS Leopard on my PC but have run into a problem. I got the iAtkos 10.5.7 Leopard edition and burned it on a DVD. I run the DVD from boot and I get this screen.
I don't really know what the problem is. Can you guys help? I want to do a dualboot, so I installed Windows 7 and then made a partition for Mac. So I did all the right steps.
My PC setup is:
ASUS Crosshair III Formula (790FX, pci-e, ddr3, 8 channel, raid)
AMD Phenom II Quad 965 Black Edition
NEC DVD ReWriter AD-7240S
GIGABYTE Ati Radeon HD 5850 1gb
SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 (1000 gb, sata/300, 8.9 ms, 7200 rpm, 32 mb, 3.5")
KINGSTON ValueRam (4096 mb)
What do you think, could be the problem?

But don't you have to install Mac OS Leopard firs before Snow Leopard?

I used to get this. Maybe you should try Hazard's distribution of Snow Leopard. It has good AMD support. Also if it doesn't work at first, keep trying with different possibilities.
no not at all, leopard is usually easier and simpler I guess is how you would say it. but you can definitely install snow leopard without leopard
