Zephyroth AMD 10.5.1 Installation Q's

[Danhrules]

Tomorrow I'll be (trying) to install the Zephyroth AMD release of Leopard to my PC. I currently have 2 hard drives:

HDD 1:

Partition 1: Vista Install

 

HDD 2:

Partition 1: Storage

Partition 2: EMPTY (formatted to FAT32, want to install Leopard here)

 

Basically I just want confirmation that what I'll be doing wont erase or tamper with the Storage partition (or any other ones). This is what I'll be doing, I'm not sure if I need to install the EFIv8 files or if they're built into the disk or w/e:

 

a. In the setup use the disk utility to 'Erase' the FAT32 partition to 'Mac OS Extended'

b. Get the 'Disk Identifier' for the partition (in format of disk?s?)

c. Unmount the drive and insert USB drive (labelled 123). Open Terminal and enter:

cd /Volumes/123/pc_efi_v8
  ./startupfiletool /dev/rdisk?s? ./boot_v8
  dd if=./guid/boot1h of=/dev/rdisk?s? bs=512 count=1
  dd if=./guid/boot0 of=/dev/disk? bs=400 count=1

d. Proceed with the installation etc.

e. Once working, use EASYBCD in Vista to setup dual-booting etc.

 

(I managed to work this out by browsing the forums and the various tutorials scattered around and adopting them to my needs.)

 

If I wasn't clear, I just want to know whether I need to install the EFIv8 files with this disk, and confirm that what I'll be doing wont erase the other partitions. Thanks for your help

I'm pretty sure you can't use EFI with AMD at all
