Ok i want a mac on my pc to test some software i am coding.

I tried to download few torrent builds nothing worked.

My pc is Intel e8400 cpu , 8gb ram and asus p5k MB

I have new hard disk for MAC but all this retail dvd not even showing installation screen.

But i did Virtual Machine workstation and install snow leaopard inside with 40gb space.

But that os inside do not see all my other empty hard drives. I am kind of stuck.

How do i instal OSX snow leopard? DOes i have to instal OSX in pc first and how?

Why not install OSX snow leopard like osx 86?.

Any help and comments appreciated.:)

Google "myhack installer" and read about doing that.

It's by far the best way to install Snow Leopard. The only downfall is that you must already have a Mac in order to make the USB/HD image.

Good luck.

Try using NTFS 3G if you want read/write access to you HD.

If you are looking to install Snow Leopard nativly, then try Empie EFI, it does require you to have a retail DVD.
