Hi all!

 

First my Laptop configuration:

 

Dell Inspiron 1501

AMD Sempron 3500+

512Mb Ram

ATI Radeon Xpress 1150

Atapi CDROM: TSSTcorp DVD+/-RW TS-L632D

 

This laptop was given to me by a friend that ruined the HD Sled, and screwed his hard drive. I reconstructed the sled with some plastic and epoxy and added a SATA Fujitsu MHW2080BJ FFS G2-(S1) 80Gb HD. Its the only part that is not from the default configuration. The dell Service Tag is 9NG46C.

 

I also own a Power Mac G5 Dual 2.0 with 2Gb Ram Nvidia 6800GTS with 256Mb Ram and 2x500GB Sata 3 HDD. Its running Leopard 10.5.4

Issue:

 

When I install Kalyway 10.5.2 I leave mostly the default settings on, and add any AMD related that the OS doesnt pick up. It begins to install, but when there is 25% left of the installation, the CD Rom makes a weird noise and it doesnt finishes the install (well I have left it several days running and it doesnt finish), i end up shutting it down and restarting. I have restarted the installation like 20 times. No joy...

 

I am going to try and install Leopard using Leo4All to see what happens.

 

Can someone give me any tips or ideas as what could be going wrong?

 

I will appreciate it.

 

K.
