Installed Uphuck 10.4.9i But Didn't Really Install

[Special-K]

I put the DVD in, it went to the darwin bootloader (whatever its called), I hit any key, the install started up and everything, and I thought everything went great. It finished up and said restart, so I did, assuming that it was normal and had to be done. But when the computer restarted, I left the DVD in the tray, thinking it might need that to boot or something. OSX didn't boot, the DVD did. So I restarted without the DVD in, and it started up Vista. I did this a couple times, going into the system config, looking at the boot order and anything that I could to see what the problem was. I found nothing. I even reinstalled Uphuck and still nothing. I'm currently downloading JaS 10.4.8 with the combo update for 10.4.9. but if anyone has any ideas why my Uphuck won't work, for the love of (insert here) please help me.

First of all do you have an intel or amd processor?

 

If you have amd you shouldn't use Uphuck 10.4.9i but Uphuck 10.4.9 1.4A.

 

If you have Intel it should have installed correctly, you just have to set the partition where os x is installed to active or if you want to dualboot (with vista); use a bootloader so you can choose which partition you want to boot at startup (search google)...

Sorry, I have an Intel

(I'm still new at this)

 

And I did set the partition to active, I followed all the steps in two guides, one from this forum and one from profit42.com and they both said pop the disc in and install (which I did) and then OSX should boot, but it didn't and that where I got stuck.

 

I'll try the bootloader, any one you suggest?
