Help! Cannot Boot off CD, or USB and VMWare doesn't work!

[noahazamac]

Ok, well I am trying to Tri-Boot Windows 7, Ubuntu 10.04, and Leopard 10.5.6.

I already have Windows 7 and Ubuntu installed.

I have a copy of iDeneb 1.4 that i burned awhile ago. When I try to boot it goes for a while, and then i get an error message similair to this:

[   43.064371] usb 1-1: device not accepting address 4, error -110
[   43.183451] usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5

And 'Waiting for root device' mixed in.

The thing is, the same thing happens when i try to boot an Ubuntu, GParted, and iDeneb CD or USB. My USB ports don't work in Ubuntu either.

Ok, so I tried installing Leopard in VMWare onto my partition. Everything went smoothly until it reached 'About a minute left' and paused. The bar didn't move, but I could move the mouse around. So after about half an hour i got pissed and just closed out VMWare. I don't really know what to do now, any help?
