i have tried many times to install snow leopard from the retail dvd using iboot but all i get when i choose the mac osx install dvd from iboot menu is a grey prohibited symbol.

anyone else got snow leopard on a dell studio xps 8100

bios set to RAID (there is no AHCI mode )

intel i7-860
dell DH57MO1 motherboard (standard in pc)
8Gb DDR3 ram (also tried using only 4Gb )
nvidia gforce GTS 240

other post i have read have people that have done this but get stuck later down the line

What are your SATA mode choices?
BIOS setting SATA mode to RAID is what causes the circle/slash symbol.
If your SATA mode choice includes Enhanced mode then use that instead of IDE or RAID.
