My steps: 1. go to BIOS, select DVD drive to be 1st on boot and save the settings. 2. place bootloader cd in the drive and wait for it to load. 3. type -v cpus=1 and press enter 4. replace the cd with the iatkos 10.5.5 DVD and press enter. 5. it reads it for a while, then I see the apple logo 6. then I see the beautiful blue background and then the installation page. 7. At this point I go to the menu and select the Disk Utility 8. The page opens but there is NO Hard Drive in there I went back to the BIOS to see if I could change the SATA information, but couldn't find any option. Please help.
