no you can't because the thing about mac is you can install windows on a mac machine using boot camp start up disk. but a os x does not work on the windows machine sorry

I think he can run OSX86 on his computer. I'm not sure whether or not he can choose between two OSes like bootcamp or parallel. Correct me if I'm wrong.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSx86

Hope it helps.

It's possible using emulation, but not really worth the effort because of the performance hit you take..

http://www.windowsdevcenter.com/pub/a/wi.../18/PearPC.html

Or natively like this. http://uneasysilence.com/os-x-proven-hac...an-ordinary-pc/

Honestly linux is a better option...

PearPC is very laggy. Keep us updated on how to install the osx. Thanks. I want OSX running on my pc too.

Seems like the guy who helped you to install OSX doesn't want to tell us. So, should I open a new topic and ask forumers how to install that? If you all agreed, then I'll do what I've promised.
