I have downloaded Leopard-10.5.2-AMD-EFI-Rev2 and burn it at 2x speed. When I boot the DVD a menu popped up saying press any keep to start or F8. So i pressed any key and then i went to this grey screen with the apple logo. Few minutes later a stop sign appeared on the apple logo and it was still loading
What should I Do.

boot off from the disc press [ENTER], and try again. should work, can't be a DVD problem, or if you want go into -V (verbose mode), and from there tell us what errors do you see.

put in the same IDE channel, your HD & DVD (master/slave) and unplug the other dvd.

You DVD should be master. Your DVD Drive is IDE, right?

yes my DVD Driver is IDE
Edit: What should my HardDrive be then?

roisoft 03-15-2008 04:50 AM

HD=master DVD=slave (not cable select) (same ide channel) unplug the other ide device or disable the second ide channel in bios.
