I have a Dell Optiplex GX280 with a 2.8 GHz Pentium 4 HT processor, 1GB RAM, 320GB HD, Intel integrated graphics, DVD burner, ect... I have tried a few times to boot from the disk i burned, and if i try to start normally, i get the spinning wheel, but then it stops. if i type in -v then it stops at something for internet.

a little off topic, but i tried to boot from this disk on my dell dimension 8400 with a 3GHz pentium 4 -and i got the apple loading screen with a circle and a line through it. its got 512 ram, 160gb hd, and some ati 128mb video card. any ideas?

i mainly want to do it on the optiplex because its more reliable and always connected to the monitor, as opposed to having to change the monitor to the 8400

(please excuse any spelling errors, i am using my ipod touch as a keyboard so i can sit back)
