ok so i gave leo4all v3 a go and met with partial success. the disk booted and i was able to re-format the partition with MAC OS X (Journaled) and then made it to the part where my disk is checked for errors before it begins to install (the DVD i am installing from and not the hard disk). it makes it to 52% and then gives me a dirty disk error and asks me to restart. i have burned the disk twice, once with poweriso and once with astroburn and both meet the same problem. i think that it may be a problem with the file i "obtained". the file is 4.37GB burned to a Sony DVD+R 4.7GB at 3x speed both times but on different DVDs.

how would it matter if i formatted with NTFS or FAT32 when i have to re-format to MAC OS X (Journaled) in order for the setup to run on the partition?
