Special problem with "account activation loop" or "do you already own a mac"

[Plimm]

Hi community....

 

...at the moment i am quit dispaired...

 

1. I installed OS X 10.5.2. Leo Kaly. Vista is installed on the same hdd (partition s01)

2. After solving the B0 ERROR I tried to boot OS X - BUT: The "do already own a mac - activationloop" showed up.

3. I searched the net for help and found different solutions:

- Turn off all devices in the bios (i.e. network ...) -DID NOT WORK

- Access the boot-command by hitting F8 and use the -s to access the terminal where I tried to use the "Touch"-command to set the variable for the setup to "done".... Problem here is that the "passwd" command could not be found!!!

- Installing Tiger first to create an account that could be imported in the Leopardactivation. Problem: the pc crashes in the preparations for the installation. I can not install Tiger.

 

what can I do to fix this problem? Should I try to get a TimeMachineBackup of Leopard from a friend of mine?

 

I hope that you can help me.... Regards - Plimm
