i formatted my 1st partition as macosx extended journaled and on customization i selected vanilaa both and unselected graphics audio and network drivers and selected guid install

 

 

now i am getting a b0 error after the installation went fine

is your formated drive guid or mbr?

 

Make sure the one you install is also the one you chose in Disk utility! Also make sure you unmount and remount the partition (or just do a quick erase) you install to

 

Installing Leopard does not set the partition active for some reason, like tiger did!!

 

I always use mbr, I see no point to use guid at all

 

Good Luck

gauravsuneja,

Xosx86 beat me to it! I got the same error on my first install because my HDD was MBR formatted and I selected GUID in the install options. I use GUID myself but if you are going to try and put Windows on another partition MBR is the way to go!

i didn't get u dear i heard hat if u wan to install kalway with osx as primary os u need guid and if u want to install with xp preinstalled use mbr then ? can u plz explain the whole line above ? i thought guid is juts like grub for linux liek mbr for windows .but u peopel got my all fundamentals wrong .i am confused is guid or mbr is tpe of hdd format liek hfs ,fat32 fat16 ext kinds?

Take a look this

You see in format it says "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)

 

Then in Options is where you choose mbr or guid!

As seen below

Hope this helps, I would use mbr as you said you also want to run windows!

 

Like I said in the above comment.

 

Make sure if you use mbr under options, then you must use mbr under options when installing Leopard.

 

Please report back after you try again, OK?

Good luck

There is a problem with disk name styles including spaces, like "Macintosh HD", perhaps

this is your problem to ?

My disk (partition really) is called MacOSX, no spaces.
