Well,I have an HP pavilion dv7(intel Core 2 Duo Centrino at 2,4GHz,ATi Radeon 4650HD with 1Gb VRAM,2Gb RAM,classic intel 5100 wifi...if i miss anything please tell me) and want to install Mac OS X,but I have absolutely no idea how to do it!I know there are many versions available online,but I don't know which one or how to install it.Currently,i have downloaded iAtkos v7 and the Snow Leopard DVD,but when i try to boot from the iAtkos DVD it brings up an...error on the grey screen with the apple logo.Forgive me if i have done something wrong or didn't do something,but the only experience i have is with windows(which i don't like,not to say hate) and linux and i want to try out Mac because i love it but don't want to buy an apple computer(too expensive for almost nothing).
So,if you could PLEASE tell me what and how to do it I would deeply appreciate it!
Below is a link with a photo of the error that appears upon iAtkos' booting:

You won't get the wifi working, don't know about the rest.

Have a dv7, too, but the 1196eg with intel cpu, nvidia 9600m gt etc..
