Ok So I tried in my Desktop and it worked.
But it won't work in my laptop.
I burned the disk with my laptop.
They are both Acers and part of the Aspire series.
They both are running Vista.
Both have AMD cpu's.

But the disk just stops on that Gray Apple Logo Screen.

Now I'm Scared.
I actually got Leopard to install.
It said Mac Os X Sucessfully installed restarting.
So my computer restarted and now nothing loads.
Just sites at a black screen forever.

if its just sat there with a flashing cursor the hardrive is not bootable. Which you may need to install a bootloader or make the partition active or both.

When you installed on your laptop, how did you set up the disks? MBR or GUI?

Boot your system using the dvd in the drive, just don't press anything when it asks you to and it will use the bootloader off the dvd to start your machine.

Once you've complete account setup, download and install Chameleon EFI. Eject your dvd, restart and all should be fine :)

Ok I installed it sucessfully I think at least thats what the installer said.
When I reboot my laptop I see the leopard boot loader.
But then it gets stuck on that grap logo screen again.
So did the diagnostic mode and it just keeps repeating waiting for root device.
Again I'm using a laptop.

I set the disks up MBR and I installed the MBR Bootloader also.
So now It just keeps saying waiting for root device.

Thanks Again Guys!

Should I have installed them GUID?
I'm pretty sure MBR is right?
I partioned/formated the drive to extended journaled.
Then options for MBR.
Then under customization I choose MBR Bootloader.
