Problem install on '07 Mac Mini

Hi all,

I've downloaded core, burnt to DVD, booted Mac into the mode where you can select the 'Windows' disk as startup and it takes me to a menu similar to below:

1:

2:

SELECT BOOT OPTION :

And I can't select/enter anything. It seem to lock up at this point.

Is it possible to get it to boot into installation mode rather than give the option to "LiveCD". I assume this is the option it is trying to give me here?

All help welcome!

Hi, before installing on any Mac you need to use rEFInd - a fork of the now defunct rEFIt:

Ah! I remember seeing something about this, I thought it happened as part of the install. Will review what this needs and try again.

Many thanks for the tip.
