Is it possible to run Mac OS on my system
I've looked all over the forum and internet but can't find an answer. I've a spare hard drive (so there's no chance of messing up my Win7 installation). My specs are: AMD Phenom II 965 BE ASUS Crosshair Formula III Mushkin Blackline DDR3…

I've a spare hard drive (so there's no chance of messing up my Win7 installation).
My specs are:

SATA Hard drive

Last night I tried to follow a guide to install Snow Leopard via a USB. I used a friends Mac, but the DVD couldn't be read - I don't know if it's a bad DVD. I was able to 'restore' my USB as a journaled drive, but couldn't read the DVD. It would be spat back out after a minute of being in the drive.
Can I hackintosh (is it a verb?) my system?
What OS can I use?
I don't have a multi-layer DVD burner and don't have access to a Mac for a couple of weeks. Are any of the OSs able to be installed using a USB and without access to a Mac?
