need help installing on p5wd2 premium

I'm trying to install OS X leopard on my pc with the following hardware

 

cpu: Intel single core p4 3.4Ghz

board: Asus P5WD2-premium

ram: 2GB DDR2-800 RAM

gcard: ATI X1800XT (512MB ram)

 

and i am also installing this to a samsung IDE drive

 

Here is what i've done so far.

I have 2 versions of Kalyway disks, a 10.5.1 and 10.5.2

both of these load up the installer and everything fine, and I even formatted the drive with the disk utilites. the issues with these are that when I progress to the last step, the actual installation of OS X leo, the 10.5.1 verifies the disk and says "disk read error" after reaching 100%, and the 10.5.2 does so without even starting a progress bar to check the disk...

 

I also have an iATKOS_5i disk that will load the installer, and even makes it past disk verifiaction and installs OS X leo....the problem is that the ATKOS disk doesnt have support for any of my hardware listed.

That being said, when I try to boot off the installation on the samsung drive (the one from ATKOS) I get the screen asking what startup options to use, and anything i've tried results in it attempting to load past the darwin/x86 boot options screen, then resetting the computer....

 

Can anyone give me a step by step of what to do, with links to good disk images if possible?

 

i've also tried to use the boot-132 loader, but i have no idea what anyone is talking about and havent been able to figure out from the forums. I burned 2 CDs, one boot KABYL and one generic off of http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4455569/Boot-132__Leopard

but all that happens when i try booting off these disks is i get the grey background screen with a white apple logo in the center...no mouse pointer or loading circle or anything, it just hangs there forever...

 

please help
