Hi. I've managed to finally get into the installer using Zeph's 10.5.1 install disc, but when I go to format the partition for OSx86, it just lists my Vista partition as 128GB and doesn't show anything after the initial 128GB. I was planning on installing Leopard on a 50GB partition at the end of the drive. If I must install OSx86 on the main drive, then I'll do some partition re-organizing on the drive, but I'd prefer to leave it as it is. If this is a problem with BIOS or a problem with Leopard I'd love to know. I'm pretty sure that it shouldn't be a problem the LBA, seeing as this is a MUCH newer mobo and should work with drives larger than 128, but you never know, MSI might just like to mess around with people since Windows has a software solution available.
System Specs:
cpu: AMD Phenom 9850 BE
mobo: MSI K9A2 Platinum 790FX
