OK! I wanted to try out Leopard and if it works be my main OS.

 

I downloaded Zephyroth's 10.5.1 AMD release for 68 hours! (I have a pretty fast connection but the seeders were a pain in the ass!)

I created my partition in diskpart. I burned the ISO and then I restarted my computer.

 

I get this right when my computer starts up after the HP sign. The disc doesn't even boot!

 

EBIOS READ ERROR: DEVICE TIMEOUT 
BLOCK 589472 Sectors 64

 

UPDATE: I can boot off the disc now... well kind of... having the "Still waiting for root device" problem.

 

Maybe I should get my other older DVD drives?

 

My system:

 

HP Pavilion a1540n

Asus A8M2N-LA (NodusM)

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ (AM2)

2048MB DDR2 PC400 533mhz

nVidia GeForce 6150LE 64MB (Integrated :) but upgrading to nVidia GeForce 8600 GTS 256MB very soon)

LITE-ON DVDRW SHW-160H6S DVD burner (ATA... which I think is IDE)

SAMSUNG SP2504C 250GB SATA-II HDD
