installation issue

**stjom** · 01-08-2009 12:37 AM

Hi,

I am trying to install leopard onto my ASUS Eee 904HA.

I pop in the DVD to an external DVD drive and boot up to it. The apple logo appears for a second or two and than disapears. Then the Eee boots into Windows XP as usual.

Any ideas what may be going wrong?

I am using: iPC OSx86 Leopard 10.5.6 Intel AMD SSE2 SSE3

well, the boot disk seems to work fine on my main desktop (stock xps 710) but when I try to use it in VMWare, I get a PAE error and once I enable PAE in settings for the particular VM, it boots fine
