Crashing In Middle Of Install

[Plxply]

Hello,

 

I have recently decided that I would like to install OSX on my PC, I went and researched on the Internet before downloading I went to an apple store and bought OSX, then I noticed how long it was to patch it yourself so I just got Kalways 10.5.2 install dvd since I already own OSX I thought that I would not matter.

 

So I happily burned the Disc and I booted up I got a error (Sorry Cant Remember what it was) I looked it up on google and noticed that I would not work with a IDE drive so because I didn't want another DVD drive I bought this (http://www.ebuyer.com/product/139071) I plugged it in and all was well, my computer booted off the DVD and I partitioned my drive sucessfully. I continued through until it just finished the disk check. When the bar is about 1/4 of the way through it would just seem to crash I would leave it for about 1 hour and It still would have not moved, I tried once again and I had exactly the same problem. I did not change anything in the customize section cause most guides that I read said not to touch anything unless you know what your doing

 

My Spec:

• Intel Core 2 Duo E6300
  
• 2GB RAM
  
• ECS P965T-A
  
• Nvidia Geforce 7600GS 512mb
  
• Western Digital WD3200KS-00PFB0 320GB
  

Thanks for your help in advance,

I have managed to fix the problem myself, For the Benefit of people searching this in the future I had to change a the "SATA Controller" setting from IDE Mode to ACHI+IDE, although if you have ready installed XP and change this setting I believe you will have boot problems but on Vista SP1 it automaticlly installed all of the SATA drivers and worked perfectly.
