Hi, you can try use ToH RC2, it worked fine for me in lappy too.

Goodluck,

Doesn't have ToH modified for AMD.

Try find normal ToH RC2 and find ToH PPF patch for AMD.

Goodluck,

i have the same problem. i am also using leo4allv2 but i cant mount any hard drive. i have the hard drive in fat32 has i read so many places. i try to erase it to mac os version and then it "silently fails"... and goes nothing... nothing on disks to install either... :\

does leo4allv3 solves this?

i have also read somewhere that this may be because i am using my sata disk as IDE. and that i shouldnt... i tryed to use native config of the disk but didnt worked either.

another thing... Easy BCD is only working on vista. any other program that works on XP? (i dont have and i will never install vista on my pc!)

i have already downloaded leo4allv3 and the problem is the same. i cant mount the disk. after the erase it "silently fails" the mount and using the "mount botton" it also fails...

can someone helps me?

last update:

i followed part of this guide:

2. You need to create at least 6GB unallocated space on your hard disk. If you know how to do this, don't hesitate to use your preferred method. If you don't know how to do this, download Partiton Magic 8 and shrink one of the partitions on your hard drive. After you've done that, skip to step 4.

>> Click on ‘Resize/Move Partition
>> Move the slider to make the partition smaller and hit OK
>> Click on ‘Apply’
>> Close Partition Magic

...

5. In the command window, type:

>> List disk
>> Select disk [disk #]
>> List partition
>> create partition primary id=af
>> active

and now i was able to install leo4allv3

You need only format HDD using Disk Utility in HFS+ format...
