The only way to install a Windows OS in a G5 would be using Virtual PC or Qemu. Both options are software based emulations, and should be run under Mac OS X Leopard.


Also, Allan: The G5 processors was made by IBM (internal IBM name 970), not Motorola. The last Motorola-made processor on Apple machines was the G4 (internal Motorola name 7400). I would kindly suggest that you refer to this era of Macintosh computers "PowerPC macs", as calling them "Motorola" would greatly confuse new users, as any Google search would redirect them to m68k processros or even early 2000s phones.
