Well after it seems, PLENTY of errors and problems. b0 errors, HSF errors, kernel panics, and about 5 installations later, i have finally got an OS that appears to be trying to boot up. It passes the darwin stages and gets to the white screen with the lightly shaded grey apple and a small spinning gear under it fairly quickly. Problem is it doesnt leave this stage. It's now been probably 1 1/2 hours and its still going. Appears to be trying to boot up. I've though of giving up and continuing with my vista install plenty of times, but now that I am soooo close, i cant do that. Also since my system has no problem dual booting (2 seperate harddisks), there's no hurt in leaving the install on my second drive.

 

Now please if any one of you can help me, i would greatly appreciate it.

My specs:

 

Asus P5K-C motherboard

Intel e4600 @ 2.4ghz

3GBs of corsair ram

Nvidia 8800GTS G92 512MB

Creative X-Fi Fatal1ty

The first thing would be to boot with the -v flag and see were OSX is stopping at. When you boot to OSX press the enter key when the count down start then type -v OSX will show what it is doing instead of the background.
