I tried the latest Empire EFI iso.
After booting as expected I insert the Snow Leopard DVD (retail 5-license version) I get to a point where I am asked to "press any key" and when I do that, the Toshiba reboots.

I have not tried the other method yet with iAtkos. I am at a point where I don't want to spend ages on this, I have decided to purchase a refurbished Macbook Pro 17" 2.23GHz for $999, which was a steal I thought.

I most likely will take this Winblows 7 machine back to Staples and get refunded.

Normally (almost never) do I give up on something, but it appears that the hardware may be too new to install Mac OSX on it.

When I was rebooting the Winblows 7 a couple of times, after changing one of the partitions, I got the BSOD pop up with some kind of crazy Windows memory error. LOL.. I'll be glad to take it back.

unless there is still hope to change this thing into a Mac...
