Help! Cannot install from DVD

Hello friends of the OSX!

First: sorry for my bad English - I am from Austria and I know, it's not too good. But I try my best.

After 15 years of Mac OS on Apple hardware I wanted to try, how it works on a Windows platform. I've a lot experience in Apple software, from OS 7 to 8 to 9 up to the new OSX 10.5.5 - but now I'm not even able to install it on my pc.

I have downloaded three different versions, the Leo4all v5 Server for AMD/Intel, one earlier Leo4all with the 10.5.2 OSX and the IATKOS v4.1i
All images are burned as a hybrid mac/pc disk on my Apple G5 under OSX 10.5.5 with Toast Titanium at low speed.

I have prepared the first partition on my 2nd drive and made it active. Then I insert the DVD and restart. Everything works fine, the computer boots from DVD, the message comes"Darwin/x86 boot v5.0.132 Chameleon v1.0.11" and I can continue or choose from some options with F8. Now there are 4 or 5 lines with loading messages but then the boot process stops, the installation fails and the pc restarts.
And this is the same with all three disks.

My configuration:
Mainboard ASUS P5Q Pro
Intel Core2Dou E8400 at 3,0 GHz
Memory 2 GB DDR2 800
Video Nvidia GeForce 9800 GT

I must admit, that I have not a great deal of experience with Windows platforms but I hope that I'm not the first who has these problems. I've searched all the forums but found no solution.

Thanx
