Sooo are you saying I should try installing Windows XP on it.

How do I set up a boot flag? Is that where I start OSX with " -f " ?

Last thing, What is HFS+?

Thanks for replying

I was having the same problem when trying to format Vista`s partition - it seemed to be locked somehow. Do you have any Linux live cd ? Try Ubuntu for example, delete all partitions, create new one with FAT16 or 32 filesystem ready for OSX.
You can manage bootflags with Ubuntu`s manager aswell the easy way if you mean partition`s boot flags.
If you mean bootloader`s boot flags - yepp, it`s when you type -f.
And, HFS+ is Apple`s Hierarchical File System used for OSX.

"I don't know where the kext files are" - what kexts files are you looking for ?
