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.
