david432111 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Well I downloaded the Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.1 for AMD SSE2/SSE3 (32bits) iso and burned it to a dvd. I boot it, after a few seconds it'll say: Press any key to install Mac Osx or press f8 to enter startup options. I then press enter, it looks like it's beginning to boot, but it doesn't and I try again and again but with no luck. But what's weird is that it's gotten me to the actual Leopard installation screen once, but I had to to turn it off again because I had forgotten to make a partition. Can someone help me?

Well how long do you wait? It takes me 15 minutes at least and that is on mega-compatibly hardware.
