Presario F579WM

AMD 64 X2 1.7
1GB ram
120 SATA HDD
DVDRW ( not sure if its SATA )
MCP51 NForce
Geforce go 6150

I have tried
Kalaway ( worked once then had to resart and never booted again)
Ideneb (waiting for root device)
LawlessPPC (stuck in various spots)
LEO4ALL (waiting for ROOT device or SATA reset done )
iPC ( forgot what happened)

I got Kalaway to install the one time then after the install it wouldnt go through the same motion again.


Any suggestion what to try.
I was trying to perform some patches but with PowerISO I cannot for the life of me extract files from ISO and modify, it stops copying when it gets to the fonts and the HFS folder.

Thanks
Jon
