Help with Ideneb 10.5.5

[lokhor]

I am fine booting up the IDeneb 10.5.5 installer, however I have no idea how to deal with the issues of partitions. My drive is a 300gb split into 3 ntfs partitions. Am I able to install OSX on one of the other partitions so that I don't overwrite windows? I used the disk utility and was unable to really do anything with it. I have partition magic in windows so I can format or resize disks using that. Any help would be appreciated.

 

My drive is sata on an Asus P5k se motherboard.

 

I also have found drivers for the P5K SE and am unsure what to do with them

I tried to set the second partition on the drive as a primary partition and active and I was still unable to install, or do anything using the disk tool. I cannot even boot xp now.

Format or convert the partition to FAT16 or FAT32 first. Disk Utility can't work on NTFS partitions.

I formatted the partition as Fat32 and set it as active using partition magic 8, it warned me that the partition was past the 1024 cylinder limit and would not be bootable but i was unsure how relevant this warning was. I was unable to do anything to the drive using the disk utility despite it being formatted as fat32.

 

Although when i booted up a linux livecd (as windows no longer worked) it told me in gparted that the drive had been formatted as HFS or something like that, despite this i was still unable to install to it.
