Hi,

So just like others i'm a total stranger to hackintosh, but i fell in love with Mac OSX.
After some research i decided to go with leo4all, so i downloaded v3 from here. I extracted the ISO, burned it and then used ubuntu to create a FAT32 partition. But here is my problem (and my guess is, because im new to this im forgetting something incredibly simple); but when I insert the DVD it loads the darwin bootloader, I press enter to load installation and then it says: 'can't boot: couldn't find /library/system/com.boot.apple' or something alike, but i'm missing files needed to boot.
So I boot windows again, click in the DVD, open it in my computer and this is what I see:


Now as I said: im probably forgetting something stupid as hell since no-one seems to have this problem, but please forgive me for that since I'm new to this!

I'd appreciate any help!!

Thanks in advance

EDIT:
My system is the following (although i suspect that isn't the problem in this case):
HP pavilion dv6132eu

Install process specifics/tips
=========================
- on boot prompt: only "-v" option ("verbouse" - to show all messages)
- used standard instructions: "Disk utility" to delete the current drive, then change the default partition, created by the deletion, to Mac OS (journaled); then configure drivers/packages

Don't be too quick to judge the install process has "hanged"!!!!
===================================================
* ignore whatever "errors" you see in the pre-graphical install, unless it stays for too long time at one place, or starts repeating messages (very popular problem is "still waiting for root device")

* if in doubt whether the install has hanged, watch if hard drive or the DVD drive show activity - if yes, it is almost for sure going OK

* highly recommended: during the graphical install, monitor the progress by going to "Window" -- "Log", the choose "Show All logs" (the Log window always shows the last log line)

* it is OK when if the Log sits for more than 45-60 mins at line "Extracting"
(depends on the hard drive, DVD and overall computer speed)

* it is OK if initially the graphical "install time calculation" shows short time of install (e.g. a few minutes), then the calculated install time starts to grow to up to about 1:30 hrs (!!!), then starts going down OK (it is not correct anyway)
