There is a way, actually more of a work-around. You will need Virtualization software like VM Ware (vmware.com), Parallels Workstation (www.parallels.com/), or Microsofts Virtual PC 2004 (free, found somewere on microsofts site). You will need one of these three pieces of software and a Mac OS install disc. Basically you install one of these and then install your Mac OS into the program. It will create a virtual pc. So in you case you will be running windows, but will have, lets say, Parallels installed and in Parallels you will have a virtual computer with Mac OS installed.

No problem. Again if you need help just reply in this thread. And personally if your going to buy a program I would go recommend the Parallels software before I would recommend VM Ware. But if money is a problem you can get Virtual PC 2004 from Microsoft for free, but it can be kinda finicky. Good luck.

Once you get a virtual pc setup with one of these programs you simply start up Windows, start up the program, and then from inside the program you select the "Mac OS Virtual OS", select the start button, and then your Mac OS should begin to load from within the program window.
