Sorry if this is in the wrong section.

I Successfully installed Snow leopard on a Storage hardrive with 3 partitions on it, 2 ntfs windows with files on them i do not want to wipe and one Guid partition for apple. I successfully installed it on the "Guid" partition, Green check mark and all for succesfull install, but when i try to restart and put iboot back in, i only see the "iboot" and 2 of the "windows logos".

The apple installion does not have a logo showing up when i put the iboot disk back in.

I just want to know if the only reason this could possibly happen is the fact that im doing this on a hardrive with 3 partitions on it, and my only soloution is to buy a blank hardrive. i know were supposed to already, but i succesfully installed it, so i figured it should work.

there is also no option for "hpet" in my bios and "achi" was already selected by default. the Hdd is also TB or lower

Thank you for any responses

If you formatted this drive with Windows I tend to doubt the GUID partiton.
Boot the iBoot, then swap for the installer DVD and boot it. At the OS X install screen select Utilities->terminal and type

diskutil list

and hit enter. Post a pic of the screen.
