Leopard not installing. iATKOSiR2

[ZimmerX]

I downloaded iATKOSi and burned it perfectly onto a disk.

 

Partitioning wasn't hard, I just used gParted and created an extra unformatted partition.

 

My specs are the following:

E6600 @ 3.0GHz

2GB OCZ Platinum PC6400 RAM

BFG 8800GTS 640MB

P5N-E SLI

500GB Western Digital SATA II HDD.

 

Using the latest JMicron SATA controllers.

Using Vista Home Premium.

 

Ok, so my problem. I boot flag the unformatted partition and then insert the iATKOS disk. 

 

I press F8 at the boot options menu to run with "-v". So it runs the diagnostic.

It reaches FIREWIRE, no settings found, so it sets to DEFAULT settings ( I am saying this as it comes up as an error ).

 

Then it hangs and repeats the next message:

"No root device found"

 

Then I can't install. It just keeps doing that.

 

If I do not run "-v" and let it boot. It hangs at the loading screen with a small NO ENTRY sign ontop of the Apple logo.

I am going to try Kalyway, but I would like an explanation as to why it doesn't work. I read somewhere that when it says that it means that it cannot detect my HDD because of the SATA controller. Seems to only happen with the P5N-E. So does this mean I can't have OSX ( I need it for my work, my last resort is to BUY and iMac. Yes people, buy. It's blasphemy ).

 

Thanks for the help.
